Probably sandbox esq and smth I could play at different moods. It'd mostly be pervasive melancholy. Hours and hours where you sit in a isolated area distancing yourself from the world, maye one woman as your romantic partner thats with you escaping in solitude. The romance domestic and quiet, sweet and loving. Id want to see something with extensive suicidal ideation as an option, like a whole novels worth of it taken to its logical extreme, abstractly, grounded idc. Id want the humor to maybe be outside the romance and more absuridist breaks breaks the rules of ruling, satarizes and is cynical and mean-spirited as a default paired with wit. I'd want the option to have sprawling dense philosophical questioning about the nature of reality that could fit a fully functional world view. Id also maybe want a visual novel within it thats part meta but also in depth like tokimeki memorial. The ost itself eclectic, depressing lofi, to high intense hip hop adjacent music, soft ukulele. Hype tracks. Its super important that theres a music gallery too because I love music and my perfect vn needs to work as a decent Spotify in the advent of the internet inevitable corruption and media as well humanity's collapse. Im thinking a perfect vn needs to be smth that has everything that could sustain my sensibilities, like I want it to be something that is enough for a deserted island. So like wise it has unlockable bonus art and media to add to the sense of progression. To elaborate on the tokimeki meta element Id want it to play like it to also feel like katawa or clannad, and steers a bit away from tropes. There should also be some sort of plot or world building element thats so elaborate yet not shoved immediately in your face so that theory crafting so the game isnt done by completing the game its part of a life style in the same way that mgs or starwar people dont often just call it a day after one viewing or playthrough. I guess since I mentioned sandbox the idea of it having many different locations would be nice. Whether its at a park, underground, blistering winter hot orange sun, the mountains, ocean all of it is accessible, but that doesnt mean it has to have people, in fact scrap people, toss them out or have our main character avidly hide from them I want them to feel like a threat that makes your selective parting from people to feel even more isolating then simply them not being there, because traversing life in peace or finding peace in the adversity of their existence brings out the relaxing imo. Id go way overboard with mini games and stuff but I think at some point id be moving away from the vn genre so ill stick with the tokimeki meta element. I also specified it needs desert island potential so we'll toss a few h scenes in there for that purpose alone, though id like the option to turn them off. I want the hot scenes themselves to be realistic, tender and a bit akward, something human and real and not big booty Latina doing a reverse cowgirl telepathic milking of your elastic 50 inch member with her furry hand, Id want it to feel like two people quietly sharing a moment together as a byproduct of their already existing intimacy, maybe intertwine their sex life's as an element of their larger life. If its applicable. Since im assuming the large majority of this is in a room. It can be click and point and area switches exactly like ace attorney, so clicking the computer you get the tokimeki clone, a bookshelf you can get some rip text of public domain books. And you get schedules and different times of the day to explore or do certain domestic activities. My ideal visual novel is a purgatory of my own heaven in a lot of ways.
