JAPANESE BL VISUAL NOVEL GAMES SERIES

Because of that, you see all the characters in a variety of ways, from their best to their worst. The story never becomes too confusing, thankfully, and Steins Gate makes every ending count, even the ones where you royally screwed up. All sorts of major things can change depending on if you just answer your phone. Cause and effect become tangled, the actions of the future affect the past and plunge characters into totally unforseen situations.

Twisting, branching paths are a staple of the visual novel genre-the Zero Escape series explores how it can be used to great effect too-but Steins Gate’s use of time travel gets wild. Using it, he and others begin to work towards improving the future by influencing past actions. Rintarō Okabe, a mad scientist who acts as the protagonist, has created a time machine where he can send text messages into the past. Steins Gate is a tale of time travel that explores the complicated web of cause and effect. Although you can turn sex scenes off and hide nudity, you get to know those characters much more intimately in what are genuinely well-written sex scenes-none of the fluff you found knocking about your aunt’s bookcase. Ladykiller in a Bind is an unquestionably adult game. This mix of social manipulation and playing an asshole (who is, in herself, pretending to be even more of an asshole) is executed brilliantly, and, if you choose to, results in more than a few steamy scenes with other students. Social manipulation is the name of the game, choosing the rights words and phrases in the midst of conversation to maintain your disguise as your twin brother while also trying to get with every woman on the cruise. The Beast has been forced by her twin brother, a manipulative asshole, to pretend to be him for mysterious reasons on this cruise where she wants to be sleeping around, but must keep up appearances so as not to arouse suspicion. You’re The Beast, a lesbian who isn’t shy from flirting or going back to the bedroom. The setting is what rich kids might call a school trip and the rest of us might call a once-in-a-lifetime holiday on a cruise. As a somewhat traditionally styled visual novel, Ladykiller in a Bind is about socially manipulating a bunch of lusty teenagers.

The full title of Ladykiller in a Bind is ‘My Twin Brother Made Me Crossdress as Him and Now I Have to Deal with a Geeky Stalker and a Domme Beauty Who Want Me in a Bind!!’ But try to forget that. The way that you, the player (as opposed to you, the character), can have knowledge that characters don’t, in a form of dramatic irony, is executed brilliantly when you have different timelines and endings to consider. Choices you make result in different endings, and the games play into it in a way no other visual novel really has. Zero Escape is grim, but the story is fascinating and well told. They never feel like a cop-out, there’s rarely anything as simple as having to solve a Tower of Hanoi puzzle for the umpteenth time. Some of these puzzles get pretty difficult as you go on, like having to decipher an unknown language made of symbols. Point-and-click segments challenge you to solve puzzles to escape through each door. You’re not just reading the whole time, either. It all gets a bit Saw-like when people start dying in gruesome ways, such as acid showers and bombs inserted into people’s stomachs. They’re each fitted with watches that each display a number, and told that they must escape whatever place they’re in by working through puzzles contained by nine doors.

In each game, nine people are locked in a place by a mysterious figure using the name Zero.

The first two were only ported to PC in 2017 (with remastered visuals and new voice acting), as a pack called The Nonary Games, while Zero Time Dilemma stands on its own. There are three games in this series: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors Virtue’s Last Reward and Zero Time Dilemma. If you enjoy getting your hands dirty with puzzles, the Zero Escape series is perhaps your best bet. The Nonary Games/Zero Time Dilemma (the Zero Escape series)
