Non-Ero Visual Novels...

I've currently got Ever 17, Phantom of Inferno and Hourglass of Summer. Are there any other good, translated Non-Ero ones out there that can be commercially bought?

Oh, and does anyone know if anyones working on a translation for 12Riven or Never7?

Planetarian has an unoffical translation, its not a English commercial release but a Japanese download release. It is not difficult to purchase.

Piece of Wonder is quite fun also imo. :3

Nothing heard bout it the past months..

As for other non ero visual novels, tried out any Doujins?

There's also Clannad.

Isn't that translation supposed to be done very soon? (crap I just remembered that I missed the Clannad AU episode...damn DX)

AU episode? You rather mean the special Tomoyo episode? The after story will air sometime in fall I think..
But yeah, once the translation is out Clannad is something you should definitely try out. It's quite focused on emotion and family though, so it doesn't appeal to everyone - if you like rather mystery and action better stay away from it. There isn't much else to try though swt..

The patches for games like Tsukihime and Wind give you the option to play them as non-ero games. That's how I played them.

Those two games aren't really easily purchase-able though ^^;

I've actually played them both. I have nothing against Ero games, I enjoy them actually, but I really want to support the industry and buy some games commercially. Unfortunately... let's just say i'm not quite of legal age yet to buy the ero ones. Plus hiding them from my parents would be difficult, and if they saw them, they'd freak out. ;)

Yeah, i'm eagerly awaiting the translation! I love emotion, drama, romance etc. so I can't wait! :)

if you dont mind doujins try Brass Restoration

by mutio - 06/01/2009 - 10:17am 27 dais #8

If you don't mind Kinetic Novels, True Remembrance & Narcissu
(both in English)

Personally, I like Brass Restoration as well.(I still can't complete true main route though, Minori's 'true route'. Only succeeded for Kashiba's route then I stopped, because her route was just too awesome IMO)

Umineko no naku koro ni and Higurashi are both quite excellent dojin visual novels.
You can also try the alltogether translations. Only one is ero I think.

Minori's ef translation from NNL can be played and its definitely recommend for those into a good story. Its got superb graphics and character and story development.

Note : (This is originally an ero-game so there are sex scenes in this unless u turn them off)

Cross Channel has a non-ero mode too, I believe, that can be chosen when you patch it.
