/arcade/ - vidya gaems and other gaems too

To heal the heart i don't know sushi. I have played not too many visual novels either. Currently playing Love Sweets for its light slice of life mood, if thats heart healing for you, for me it kinda is. I remember Yosuga no Sora vn also was heart warming.

Thank you sushi, I'll try the games you've recommended.
Heart healing to me is anything that makes you feel alive, old feelings you may have forgotten or reignited passion for something you've closed yourself to over the years..
Just as it could be a nice and warm story!

VA-11 Hall-A and Katawa Shoujou made me feel quite a lot.
I could give you few anime too, but I don't want to look pushy or anything, because you said VN and not anime.

I recommend Summer Pockets. The protagonist spends his summer holiday on a isolated island, and there are a lot of summer slice of life events with a group of close friends. There's also a larger plot with some heart-wrenching moments, but still, a lot of it is slice-of-life where your spend time appreciating the life on the island. I won't go into the plot elements, but I find that this game has a lot of that "nostalgic", leisurely summer feeling.

Another game that has that "Summer adventure" feeling is Atelier Ryza. Atelier is a series of games in which the protagonist is a (cute) alchemist girl spending her time doing alchemist stuff, such as exploring unknown areas, gathering materials and synthetizing equipment.
However it's a game and not a VN. The cut-scenes are less developed than Summer Pockets, but slice-of-life events is still a big element of the Atelier series.
The fact that it is a game means that it has the merit that you can just go and spend some time to re-explore the map whenever you want, with no goal in mind

V4-11 Hall-A is very esthetically pleasing, I'll try those games you've mentioned. Also I'd love to hear about your anime recommendations.
The scope is definitely broadened, but I don't mind at all. On the contrary!

Those two games sound absolutely lovely, my next weekends will be busy.

I appreciate your recommendations, sushis.

I am sure Jill will take good care of you. Even though you may want to puch Hisao now and then, the girls will all be touching.
Recommendations are: Aria, Haibane Renmei, Mushi-Shi, Kino no Tabi, Shinigami no Ballad, Tamayura, Usagi Drop, Non Non Biyori, Barakamon, Wakabozake, Flying Witch, Yuru Camp, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou.

Jill is the cutest and deserves to be loved

>>1667
Jill is top tier, definitely very high up on my list of favorite characters. Sei, Dana and Becky appealed a lot to me too. The entire game has such a great cast.

My fave was Dorothy she's the cutest

>>1677
I feel sort of bad for her though
Is she literally talking to herself via the cat?

>>1678
Absolutely viable, she is funny and cute, her stories made me laugh quite a few times.
>>1679
She is. Maybe she is that lonely? Or she somehow speaks her mind like that? No idea. It was very funny when Dana noticed this tough. Maybe she just considers it funny imagining what he would say? I also yell stupid shit when I am on my own, which makes me laugh. …Yes, I am lonely.

>she is funny and cute
heh

Enjoying playing VNs a lot, I often catch myself smiling at the silly lines of some characters, or just the cute camaraderie.

I'm currently playing Summer Pockets and I must say it is quite healing, the mystical escapades in a summer night. Fateful encounters in places nobody should be at. Great recommendation Sushi.

Cannot wait to play the other games sushis recommended
