I read that it's based on a VN and I'd like to play it, but I don't have a PS4 console because I only play on PC. Please explain.

The Visual Novel is titled simply "Amagami", and was a PS2 game. It also later was ported to PSP and PSVita in a bugfixed edition titled "EbiKore+ Amagami". It's not natively available on PC, but you can run an emulator and get a ROM of the game. For years, there was no proper English fan-translation, but one was recently released for PSVita. I won't help you with how to do all of that tho, as that's piracy.

@Alexioos95 It's not even released in English? Do you know why it's not released for PC and there's no official English version? Will it work if I change emulators? It's a shame this game wasn't released for PC and doesn't have an official English version.

Nop. It's actually quite rare for Visual Novels to have official translations.

The huge majority of Visual Novels were made for PS2, PSP and/or PSVita during the lifetime of these consoles (2000-2015), they just were that popular; only a few were ported on PC later on.

You can't download on vndb, that's a database site, just like MAL. The "download button" you see is just an icon, to indicate you that the release it's tied to is an internet download to do. (The link to the site is at the right of it)

You'll have to manage on your own with Google search. Talking more may lead to a ban on MAL.

get ready to learn Japanese. jokes aside most VN don’t have English translations only the popular ones like Clannad, Fate Stay Night, Steins Gate etc. even White Album 1 just recently got ported on Steam and it’s not even the best White Album in the market. I do hope Amagami gets an eng translation tho the creators might think that it doesn’t have any fans outside of Japan.

Rereleasing Amagami may take more effort than publishers want to put in, as the game would need to be ported to newer platforms. Fate/Hollow Ataraxia only hit Steam and Switch last month, 11 years after its Vita release and 20 years after its initial PC release. Chaos;Head Noah hit PC for the 1st time in 2022, 13 years after Noah's initial release and 8 years after Steins;Gate was translated. Better late than never, I guess. The definitive versions of Da Capo 1 & 2 were NEVER translated into English, not even by fans, yet we're getting a new version of 1 next month without the full content of the previous version...

What was the previous version of Da Capo 1 like? I even watched season 1, season 2, and season 2 and gave it a 6; I didn't really like it. Wow, fans have been waiting a long time for these games to be released in English and on Steam. I've never played a VN, and I only play on PC.

@Legolas301
The original Da Capo 1 & 2 were translated long ago, but I never played them. DC "Plus Situation" is a PS2 port that adds new heroines and quality of life features. DC "Plus Communication" is the PC port of Plus Situation. I know that none of those extra heroines are in Retune because they are not listed on the Retune website. I'm wondering what else Retune will change.

Japan was not big on gaming on PC until the current streaming era.
