@fujifruit: cross channel's drama is quite good, so is the "depressing element".
And I personally hate the ending >_< (though it can't "hit you for the rest of your life" as Mokyu said, though =) )
I highly recommend that you pick Symphonic Rain >_<
This VN's 10 songs are the last ten songs composed by Ritsuko Okazaki. They're very wonderful! :)

Might want to try Princess Waltz by Peach Princess. Its add a new prespective to VN as a whole as it incoporates card battles. Or maybe even Eien no Aselia, an SRPG VN.

Might be easier just to find this stuff yourself rather than bugging people for recommendations all the time.

This is a listing of almost everything that has been translated into English from the front page here:

http://translationlibrary.blicky.net..._vnlibrary.htm

Match those titles against the ratings on vndb and try and figure this out yourself.

With ratings I can't see why its good.
That is why I ask people they answer why you should read it.

The ratings on vndb are useless. Most users there don't know Japanese. If you want reliable ratings, use erogamescape.

Some users there barely know English, but that's a story for another time.

Ratings are a guide, nothing more nothing less. Sometimes they are useful, sometimes they are not. However, saying vndb ratings are "useless" is an overstatement.

EGS's ratings aren't really much better (simply due to being a rating site, I suppose) but you can at least be assured that the people there played the game in its original form and understood it properly.

As for translated games, play Saya no Uta. It probably has the best ratio of translation quality to game quality.

It depends on the people, Moogy.
I personally can't stand Saya's guro element and twisted plot. >_<
(especially the scene when the two shared the "meal" >_<)

Just imagine 2 "Dogs" eating a meal with music playing
while eating the "pasta"

Saya no uta

Says it is short..

I checked it out on Erogeshop and it was 65$ if I remember clearly

.________.

I enjoyed Saya wholly. It was twisted and guro enough to make me enjoy it.

I cant seem to find a copy of Symphonic Rain...
Himeya shop does not have it
Amazon is..Expensive ._.

It's Out-Of-Print, if I were to remember correctly.

Makoto and I must be the only people who see Saya as a pure love story...

Well there's that aspect...
But there's so much more that makes it better than just a pure love story!

How do I get it then >_
