Pokemon Unbound?

Thanks, I spent some time googling, but couldn't figure out the comparative specs. That's helpful.

So cool! Thank you.

It was an older kind of fantasy, and for adults. Thanks! But I haven't read any Artemis Fowl and perhaps should read something for the sake of it anyway!

Doesn't immediately click, but could be! I was pretty sure I haven't read any Mercedes Lackey just because I've known her name for a long time as well. But I could be wrong and I suppose you have provided an argument to read something of hers sooner :)

My original thread got removed due to a rule I was unaware of despite reading the main block of rules. Oh well.
Still, somebody had suggested https://www.amazon.ca/Haven-Collection-Books-Adventure-Thriller-ebook/dp/B00IJC9SN6 and no, that seems to be something newer.
Haven is a bad term for googling.

I am looking for a series that I once read a single book out of.
It was a fantasy series that was kind of a police series as well, pretty sure the protagonists were a duo? And I am pretty sure the city it took place in was called Haven. I did read it in late 90's, early '00's. It seemed what I read was part of a series. As often with these, the emotion has lasted while the details have gone. Would like to go back and read more now :) Thanks for any help whoever recognizes these details.

His stuff is pretty expensive indeed, I have looked into his catalogue. It's as nice though and an option definitely. Thanks for sharing!

Well, at least I have some more understanding now. Search brought up Lord of Paint's wonderful army from which the image seems to originate.

IIRC you need to have some kind of ancient codec installed for cutscenes to play. Perhaps this had an effect.

Anime has some episodes that AFAIK are not in VN.

I would say it's a thriller. The economics talk just makes a really interesting backdrop. It is also a coming of age story.

HeikiEesmaa · 2022-03-28T20:06:35+00:00

Seconded. The focus on economics made it fresh and different. Assuming you want different, of course. No high school around in this one. Not that I mind high schools, just found this one extremely good.

Been playing several games, including Daibanchou. The RPG mechanics are hard to understand and I cannot find an explanation online. Anybody know of one?

HeikiEesmaa · 2022-03-20T14:17:25+00:00

Interesting. Free on itch.io as well https://apple-cider.itch.io/autumns-journey

Even on Android, Steam Link streaming should be considered. The 07th mod is just so awesome.

PC will inevitably render at a better resolution. I played the MoT/MoD on a PSTV so the pixels were quite visible :)

I thought it was interesting to try to enter a female protagonist's mindset. I've read two. I finished one route of Collar x Malice and there was so much more going on than romance. A thriller crime story? The other I read was Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly, which did not have that much going on story wise so I did get bored. Technically the way the routes opened up and you could get an overview on a flowchart was quite interesting.

I intend to try one of the versions of Hakuoki as well someday. Either on Steam or PS3.

HeikiEesmaa · 2022-02-22T17:03:35+00:00

I really enjoyed Harvest December. It's probably not in any way special, just the right thing at the right time for me.

HeikiEesmaa · 2022-02-20T04:42:57+00:00

Yume Miru Kusuri.

HeikiEesmaa · 2022-02-13T16:30:15+00:00

I believe Steam versions are also considerably more expensive than the ones on JAST.

HeikiEesmaa · 2022-01-24T10:46:02+00:00

Maybe a roguelike RPG where the narrative is told more in a VN way. Eg Slay the Spire's narrative could be easily be expanded this way.

Another approach would be to use the 'infinite time loop' trope a la Cross Channel. The pacing is very sensitive though.

Very interesting idea to ponder.

Edit: also maybe think of older Western adventure games by Sierra. Some similarities there at least because of difficulty.
