The first VN you've played?

Princess Waltz since my friend had bought it and I had never played any so he let me borrow it to give a try. It was good for the most part just really frustrating at times with the card battle system.

My first VN was Starry Sky, in spring to be more specific ^^
I ended up playing the whole series and yes some seasons I would (/have) play/ed again C:

I don't exactly remember wich one of the two, but either Seasons of the Sakuras or Nocturnal illusions. I count both of them as 2 of my favorites. :D

...

Or possibly Immoral studies 1... Good... but... boff... at the same time not that much interesting. Story 'bout a pervert private teacher who corrupt his students into sex. Lol.

zinv295 • 9 years ago • #444525Saw Phantom of Inferno (Hirameki DVD) on a local dvd rental shop and was curious so I rented it. The concept was new to me but I couldnt put the damn thing down. One of the few VN's I played that I didn't use a walkthrough, but getting all the endings and seeing Ein's smiling face at the end was worth it.

Bought and played Desire, Divi-dead, and Kana ~Imouto~ soon after.

You played Divi-dead! I'd so like to play to that game!!! How is it?

Since it was one of the games that introduced me to the genre, It was a unique experience in hindsight. It would most likely seem generic though compared to today.

(that post just made me end my "lurker" status for 2 years)

I see. What I often like is mystery. :P I think one of the most important aspect in a visual novel is the story, of course. :P
But the music, and the images of course, are important. I would even say that the capacity of making choices in a visual novel is somewhat a surplus, if the story is good. :)

First was Ever17, though technically you might be able to say that 999 was my first, but it does have gameplay. Shortly after that, I played ChaoS;HEAd(I only started getting into VNs recently), and ChaoS;HEAd was my favourite.

My first VN was Little Busters! It's my all time favourite

Dramatical murder

EcchiLetch • 8 years ago • #1002166The first VN I played was Three Sisters Story. Even to this day it holds a special place in my heart. The story and graphics were simplisitc but effective. I recently bought the JAST Collection which has Three Sister Story, Season of Sakura and Runaway City. Three classics imo.

Overnice those three, but the cd doesn't work on win 8!! D: ! :(

It is difficult to say which was the first, mostly because the time that has passed. In any case, the Visual Novel that marked my beginnings was Saya no Uta. I'm really a big fan of that story.

It has been a few years, but I remember playing Chaos;Head in English. That would be my first VN. To Love Ru Trouble: Doki Doki! Rinkaigakkou-Hen was my first Japanese VN. I still remember messing with the buttons on the PSP. Apparently it was normal to use O instead of X to continue.

The first visual novel that I've tried is NekoPara. Back then in 2014, I was innocent on this kind of things ... after trying this, it corrupted my innocent mind.

Read MoreHide After finishing it, I crave for more. (Yeah, maybe because of the some H-scenes but I want to know more stories.) Back then, I don't know "kinetic" stuffs and I'm just new on reading Visual Novels back in 2014 ... so, I don't know what is the non-kinetic Visual Novel and kinetic Visual Novel is. After talking to some "VETERAN" friends (they call themselves as that) to recommend me some non-kinetic Visual Novels, they recommended to me Hoshizora no Memoria, Grisaia no Kajitsu and many more. And also, I started to explore some untranslated Visual Novels like Yumekoi, Hanayome to Maou and etc. to improve my Japanese reading skills, because back then ... I was studying how to read Katakana, Hiragana and some Kanji.

My first visual novel would be Hatsune Miku: To you of the future, I give every song, I liked it because at the time I was generally into Miku vocaloid songs, I would play it again if I were to forget everything about the novel because it was a Kinetic one. Did I like it? Yes, I did because it introduced me to Visual Novels, and I just started finding more and more.

it was dramatical murder for me, and the only reason is cuz im a gay af college kid LOL
i also think the art is pretty and clear is a cutie (⭒•͈

Mine was Fate/Realta Nua (download sure was a pain too). Still need to finish Heavens Feel :(

First one was probably:

Yume Miru Kusuri: A Drug That Makes You Dream

As a kid I saw it advertised in a magazine (I think it was JUMP). I had no idea it was a eroge but I thought the artwork was pretty so I went in search of it....

My first VN was probably N.E.M.O. dreamweaverswor... - advertizsed as the first Polish visual novel. I wasn't good with English, so a game in native language was the only choice back then. I've remember how I've struggled with a harem path to get all endings without a walkthrough :/ "Skip" option was a blessing that time.
