Am a big fan of VNs, and my backlog is huge. There's just too many hours that are necessary to play so many of them, which is nice but is why I haven't gotten to playing so many.
My favourites are Saya no Uta and Sweet Pool (both NSFW, the latter is a BL ((Boys Love)). SP is surprisingly charming and emotional for the rather weird storyline it has. I wasn't expecting it to be as brilliant as it was, having played other Nitro Chiral games. It may be my favourite VN company, but I've always been disappointed due to hype when playing through their games. SnU is also from another branch of the Nitro company, and it's such a thrilling ride. The music, art and story from both VNs are top tier stuff.
On handhelds, I've gotten into Ace Attorney, and almost finished 999. I'm so in love with the latter. The characters are surprisingly well done and have their own depth of characteristics and well-being unlike most other games I've experienced. It really makes you care about them. I feel the need to get the other Zero Escape games now.
I've just recently started Ever 17, Amnesia and Lamento. Really enjoying the atmosphere of Ever because it reminds me of the frantic dread I felt during 999. Amnesia on the other hand is disappointing me. It's probably due to the same reason why I ended up not caring about Dramatical Murder: expectations. Lamento was high on my hype list with the English translation having been in works for a good while and only recently being finished. I got straight to it, but it's such a long game, it'll be a good while until I get to the end. I'm so excited, and from where I've got to, I love it. Exactly what I had hoped for and got.
