| Monmusu Quest 1-2: - Medium to Very Long amount of playtime (at least 20-30 hours, please) Check. First and second part together makes playtime long enough. - High amount of interactivity Check. There a LOT of interactivity. It is VN/text-RPG, you know. - Multiple Endings (more than seven is preferable) Check. So much endings, i can't even count. Maybe 100 or more? - Lots of choices Check. You can choose to be raped, or you can decide to win. Even choose a location to go first! - GOOD STORY (important, please; that's why I didn't mention Dating Sim games) Check. This porno-doujinshi-RPG-thing has very good story. Seriously. - English translation patch Check. - Windows/PC only (though Android works, too) Well, it works not only on PC. It can be ported on Android too. All the following aspects are optional, but would boost my playing experience: - Early Branching Plot Fail. No branches. Only bad endings. - High amount of bad endings Check. Hundred or more of them, as i wrote before. - Multiple Opening/Ending Songs (like School Days) Fail. Doujinshi novel' developers usually has no money for this. - More than Seven Heroines Check. And not every one of them kills you. There are happy endings too. - Horror Genre Basically, no. But hero can be killed in many perverted ways. |
| Monmusu Quest 1 is linear, you follow one route, fight monster girls on the way, and when you loose you get nice game-over reverse-rape. I didn't read/play the 2nd part, but as far as I know it's pretty much the same, only with a few slightly different endings. So no, story isn't really that interactive. As for my recommendations, ONE seems like the best choice, since it's Key after all (or rather, it was made by the group of people that later formed Key). It isn't very long, but has a crapton of choices, 6 heroines and the story is rather good (though not as good as Kanon). It doesn't have too many bad endings and obviously isn't a horror though (it has some moments that are somewhat darker than later Key's works). Also, it's old, don't expect good graphics and OP/ED. Other than that, I know some VNs that were quite interactive, but wasn't really for my liking for one reason or another. But well, I don't mind the lack of choices, and actually prefer the Novel part of VNs, so you may consider checking them out: - Koisuru Oukoku - a dating sim with very annoying gameplay that I have put on hold for quite some time (note that I don't like dating sims in general). Other games like that are very shallow and plotless, but here every heroine has a regular story, that resembles routes in normal VNs. And those stories that I have read were quite solid and interesting. The gameplay is a big flaw for me, but it certainly adds a ton of interactivity, as what you do and where you go everyday determines the route/ending. - Critical Point - a good number of choices with a lot of endings. This VN has unique routes, so I'm not entirely sure if that kind of interactivity will appeal to you (the choices don't only change the outcome, they alter the whole plot - different characters turn out to be villains etc.). It's from the SF/mystery genre, not a horror, but it's still a bit dark. The "GOOD STORY" part is a bit questionable though, but that may be just my opinion. Well, I won't say that it's bad at least. - Bible Black - personally, I disliked this VN quite a bit. But it certainly has the interactivity, the choices appear often, there's a good amount of endings, including some bad ones too. It has an occult theme, and is slightly closer to the horror genre than the previous titles (but still quite far from it unfortunately). The biggest problem is the fact that it's a nukige - the story is secondary, H is the main focus. It still has a decent amount of plot though, certainly much more than your average nukige, and a lot of people say that the story was quite good. I didn't like it at all though, and I hated almost all characters (and the H was a complete miss for me too). But well, opinions. If you feel like porn with some plot, and large breasts and BDSM are your thing, you can consider giving it a try. Maybe. :P |

| One Rec from me: Kara no Shoujo. Going through your list: In conclusion, I'm looking for VNs with: - Medium to Very Long amount of playtime (at least 20-30 hours, please) CHECK. I didn't stop time, but i read for quite a long time - Branching plot with many paths (the likes of Clannad and School Days) CHECK...somehow. There aren't classic "routes" or paths. The plot can go many different ways - Multiple Endings (more than seven is preferable) CHECK:I count 9 ending(mostly quite long ones), but i'm not sure, wether i got all - Lots of choices CHECK. You have to make a lot of decisions in very different ways(not only the classic "choose one answer" thing, but you have to choose locations and have detective work to do) - GOOD STORY (important, please; that's why I didn't mention Dating Sim games) CHECK: Has a very dark and twisted story about a film noir-style detective solving horrible murder cases while coping with his own sad past. - English translation patch. Got a mangagamer release in english. it's without the original voices, but you can patch this quite easily - Windows/PC only (though Android works, too) CHECK. All the following aspects are optional, but would boost my playing experience: - Early Branching Plot CHECK. You start very early with making decisions, that can change the whole plot. - High amount of bad endings Since it's a very fucked up and dark story, almost every ending is a bad ending and even the "good endings" are bittersweet at best - Multiple Opening/Ending Songs (like School Days) nope. - More than Seven Heroines not really. there are a lot of girls, and you can copulate with quite a lot of them, but only one to two of them are characterized as real "heroines" - Horror Genre It's a mostly mystery story, but involves a lot of extreme horror scenes and suspense. |

That is, if I don't find Air to be too boring (it's Key's oldest release, after all). Not really. Key's first release was Kanon, Air was second. There are also two earlier VNs, made by the same group of people. One is... well ONE, mentioned earlier, and that is the foundation of the whole nakige genre. But the real origin of Key is nothing like their later VNs - it's a dark psychological thriller/horror with quite some nasty H-scenes - Moon. I'd say it's a must-read for every Key fanboy, just to see what the guys famous for innocent nakiges did in the past. :P |
