We just released a new trailer for our retro shop sim!

Hi friends! What do you think?

Shop Crush is a mysterious shop simulator with psychological horror elements, set in the early 2000s.

In this hybrid visual novel, you run a small thrift shop, get to know your customers, figure out what they really want, and decide what to put in front of them. Every customer has their own personality, preferences, and hidden motives - and it’s up to you to figure them out.

Behind each customer is a small psychological mystery waiting to be uncovered. Read their behavior, make the right calls, and balance profit against customer trust as you try to keep the shop running for one more day.

Visual novel that you consider top?

For me Danganronpa and Ai the somnium files are my top visual novels.

Although I haven't checked out the other two games of Ai the somnium files.

Ps that doesn't mean that the visual novels I have completed aren't good it's just Danganronpa amd the 1st Ai the somnium files have a soft spot for me.

Have you ever discovered a visual novel because you saw it's anime adaptation?

I discovered both Steins Gate and Danganronpa when I was watching their anime and later i learned about the visual novels.

Differences in Little Busters Steam and Switch version?

I'm playing on Switch and decided to watch a Let's Play, and then noticed that on Kurugaya's first encounter the scene is censored for some reason?

The steam version has Kurugaya making a joke about Rikki possible being gay, but the scene is watered down on Switch.

Photo 1 and 2 are the scenes on Steam and Switch, and then Photo 3 dialog doesn't even happen in the Switch game? After Photo 2, it skips to the next scene where Rikki sits on the broken chair.

So my question is... Does anyone knows what more scenes where changed/censored?

How much artwork do you expect from a 7-hour VN?

Hi guys!

Since I'm working on my first VN I'm curious about what players generally expect from a paid visual novel in terms of visual content.

For a visual novel with around 7 hours of playtime, what would you consider a reasonable amount of:

• Unique backgrounds

• Character sprites

• Animated characters (e.g. Live2D models)

Would you expect a game to have mostly static sprites, or would individually animated characters make a noticeable difference to you?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Romance VNs with (relatively) minimal fanservice?

Hey! I love visual novels, and I'd really like to get some of my family members into them.

However: as they’re not SUPER into anime or manga, I'm trying to start with stuff like, say, Danganronpa.

That being said…while they can handle some fanservice (and just laugh it off), anything too excessive would probably overwhelm them.

(Was just reading Aokana, yesterday. While a fun story, there's plenty of fanservice, and an extensive conversation about pantsu, even in the censored release. That’s the kind of thing I'm trying to avoid, for now)

So…besides VNs with no H-scenes to begin with, what are some that they may like? Key springs to mind, as relatively tame, but what else?

Please only suggest games with either a censored English release or a toggle option, for H-scenes

(preferably where the H-scenes aren’t overly important. Katawa Shoujo, for instance, wouldn’t be the same without them, particularly in a few routes)

Survey on Denpa for an academic project

https://forms.gle/zV4tzsosDBmt7Eag6

Hello! I’m preparing for a seminar on horror video games. My focus is on denpa as a genre. For this reason, I’d like to invite you to take a short survey (8-12) minutes) on the themes, aesthetics, and your experience as consumers of this medium.

The questions are relatively simple and basic (so even if you're new to this, you can still fill it out). I am not collecting any personal information about you, other than your answers to the questions (it’s possible that responses containing personal information may have to be deleted and/or excluded). I have no personal gain from this survey; I am conducting this research solely out of a passion for academia and for the medium.

Thank you in advance for your time and for every response! : )
