You could try of The Devil! It's an episodic indie cyberpunk courtroom mystery game and the first episode is free. (also i've been obsessed with it lately and need more people to talk about it pls pls pls)

....Switch or Nintendo DS (emulator) 😅, at the moment
Last/current otomes I've played are Jack Jeanne and the Vampire Knight DS game
This is a turn-based RPG that uses VN-style narration. Since the main gameplay is RPG combat and exploration, I wouldn't call it a VN😅
doesnt really look that different on my end 🤔
I started playing ai: the somnium files a few days ago! I never knew it was a 3D game before I bought it lmao. I just finished the somnium tutorial and find the controls kind of wonky. can't really form an opinion on the game overall just yet.
Why are dating sims almost always just a gag though OTL
I am personally strictly anti-genAI in art and media, and have already banned related content in my other communities from the get-go. But since this is an already existing community, I would also let the people decide here.
I follow the dev of this game on bluesky! Have been meaning to check this out as well :D
I have a few more questions regarding the rules of this community that I would like to have feedback for:
What is the community's stance regarding generative AI in visual novels? Are you OK with it/don't care, or are you against it?
Also (this is probably a long way off but) what is our stance regarding self-promotion? I'm personally for allowing self-promo if it's for major milestones (steam page launch, demo release, game release etc.)
There's already !adventuregames@lemm.ee for this, they explicitly include interactive fiction in their list of allowed content.
I don't really get how they ever got out of fashion tbh
