Incomplete at the time of writing, this game offers very little to the scene but drives a fairly unique story. It's good for those looking for something different, but otherwise unremarkable due to slow updates and incompletion.
A quirky FVN that has slow updates and chippy characters. It's a unique taste that fewer people read due to its inconsistent updates, brevity, and simpleness. It's good for those simply looking for something different to try out or those who are looking to play anything they can get their paws on.
Unassuming at first, this game packs a serious punch for those trying something a bit heavier but not too much so! It has a fantastic story, great characters, and the visuals are fantastic. Good for anyone just getting into FVNs, first-timers trying to ease their way into heavier FVNs, or the adventurous who want to try out something different from most other titles.
One of the most popular FVNs recently released, this game features a roll-based combat and party system alongside an exciting, mysterious story! The story, albeit incomplete as of writing, offers a lot to consider and think about and is truly different from any other FVN out there. Fantastic for those searching for something slightly more thoughtful, creative, and lighthearted-spook as well as first-timers.
An interesting story, fantastic visuals, great writing, and decent character development make this game one of the lesser modern staples of modern FVNs. The plot is often heart-wrenching and bittersweet, but struggles with sense of purpose, a Mary Sue protagonist, and controversy surrounding the head developer. Overall, it's a solid choice as an introduction into FVNs, but there are better games out there when it comes to characters. People searching for a longer, more emotional read may enjoy the game, while those searching for something meaningful might not enjoy it as much due to the aforementioned reasons as of the time of writing.
A game developed by the ever-popular Echo Project, this game takes place in the Echo universe (Echoverse) and handles the outrageously serious topics of life in a truly amazing perspective. The game features extremely heavy topics that most games do not dare to tackle and executes its mission flawlessly. Small details, emotion, and story drive this game to be the best horror-themed release since Echo. Good for those seeking intense thrills and chills, although not the best option for first-timers. It is heavily recommended to read Echo first to fully understand.
A much needed addition to the FVN scene, this game introduces many interesting topics to the genre as a whole. Unique characters, creative and boundless universe, outstanding story, stunning visuals, and unique concepts make this game one of the best recent FVNs to date. Unafraid to ask questions, it focuses the theme of 'discovery of self' in a way no other game in the genre dares to do and executes this goal effortlessly. A fantastic read for any reader, the game fails to disappoint in nearly every way and has few shortcomings to speak of.
