I came across a game like that today. Think the stuff on https://choiceofgames.com/ (pick anything and play a few chapters to get an idea of it). Are they welcome here if they have illustrations? After all, who says visual novel must fit the usual UI scheme of picture taking up the whole screen, text box at the bottom, and popups for choices? But then again, I can see taking issue with “well how many times do illustrations show up?” and wanting to keep VNs separate from things that do not advertise themselves as such. In the end it is not my community, so I am asking what I should do here.
Thanks! Will not post them here. I do wish Lemmy was big enough to have a splinter for IF though. I’m not interested in adventure games or point and click and hate walking sims, but I do like interactive fiction and puzzle games which are allowed there.
Even having proper tags could be a start (though only for mobile apps at the moment). I agree though, as cool as Fediverse is the lack of users can be a real downside at times.
Do you have any particular text adventures you’d recommend? My experience with this format is rather limited but I’m always interested in trying out new games.
The ones I would have recommended were ones I played in the past completely for free, and have since been paywalled. The one I wanted to post is one I still need to try :)
Fair enough, I guess I’ll just stalk the adventure games community for recommendations.
