Sure I have absolutely ZERO IDEA what is going on contextually in these games because my knowledge of the Japanese language is zero...but I am just here for the vibes...and what giant vibes they are.
I remember forever ago finding some site that had tons of screenshots of PC-98 / X68000 / Towns era Japanese visual novel games in the sci fi / horror genres...and just being blown away by the detailed depictions of what was going on in game. Tons of chunky pixels, dithering everywhere and colorways that just popped off the screen and into my eye. So I figured...why not figure out a way to play them. So I bought a metric crap ton of random Japanese visual novel adventure games just to check them out.
Because why not! And to this day...even if I have zero idea what is actually going on, they are a joy to experience both for the visual vibe aspect as well as most of them having absolutely incredible soundtracks that you just want to listen to. Do a little google translate on your phone (don't do this...takes forever lol) and suddenly this giant world of Japanese VN games opens up. (fair warning...some of the games...probably best left in Japan content wise)
But I can't be the only one who is into games just for the vibes on GAF...or VNs in general, so what is your fav VN / favorite VN screenshot?
I'll start: this just screams VIBES
