| #5102 by MikuxDrift 2023-02-18 at 00:53 | < report >#5101 yeah. It does have. But with how the way "Main Story" is structured, I think the game breaks the rule from d2#1. The storytelling segments should continue uninterrupted for a significant amount of time. The game should refrain from interrupting the reading and prompting the player to interact with the environment too frequently, lest the interactive elements overshadow the novel-like narrative. Interruptions: Being caused by the each story is level locked in "Main Story" Prompting the player to interact with the environment too frequently: Requiring the play of the rhythm game a lot to level up and to unlock each "Units" stories. (Not unless you play during the Anniversaries or special events where all the stories are unlocked for a limited time. In which can change the perspective to the reader.) But ill still let the mods decide if this deserves to stay here. |
| #5103 by Ezezin 2023-02-18 at 02:52 | < report >I'm playing Project SEKAI Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku right now. The game has it's own separate story mode, which are 5-10 minutes of uninterrupted ADV VN storytelling (no narration so far). The thing is that the game forces you to level up before watching any scenes, with at least 6 different levels, one for 6 story arcs. Also there are stories for limited time events and characters obtained from gacha. The only way to level up is by playing songs, which requires energy (optional, but the XP obtained without energy is way to low). I don't think it belongs here. So, unless I someone has a valid reason for why this game should stay, I'm going to delete this entry tomorrow.Last modified on 2023-02-18 at 04:05 |

| #5111 by Ezezin 2023-03-09 at 01:05 | < report >Since yesterday I'm playing Gnosia, and I don't think this entry can be considered a VN hybrid. While the game is presented in a VN format, it does not have any narration whatsoever and story parts are frequently interrupted by the gameplay parts (discussion and voting). Besides some random events and very short story parts, almost all dialogues lines are pretty generic and repetitive between loops. Good game, but I don't think it meets the inclusion criteria except for "The story is told employing one of the known Visual Novel presentation methods..."Last modified on 2023-03-09 at 01:06 |
| #5112 by JackDBS 2023-03-09 at 03:36 | < report >Looks like a VN to me. Also I don't think quality is in the rules. 80% of the games on this database is like Western Ren'Py garbo. Like Lessons in Love, the most bizarre weeaboo shit that somehow has worse pacing than Kiseki, Umineko, and One Piece combined. |
| #5113 by dostedt⭐ 2023-03-09 at 04:52 | < report >I finished Gnosia myself some months ago. To me, that felt like a decent example of a hybrid. Even if the dialogue is saying the same things over and over during a discussion, it's still happening throughout the gameplay segments. However, I'm not the most knowledgeable about the ins-and-outs of the inclusion criteria for a hybrid. |
| #5114 by Ezezin 2023-03-09 at 16:35 | < report >I get what you are saying, but dialogues during discussion are part of the gameplay, not the VN. They exist so you can agree or disagree with characters, and sometimes detect lies if you have a high enough intuition stat. Almost all parts of the discussion, except for the first few loops, are handled by stats and character roles using generic dialogues lines, it does not advance the story. The interactive elements interrupt the reading parts too frequently to consider the discussion, voting and character selection (the interactive map part after cold sleep) part of the VN, except some special events (exclamation symbols) where you learn more about other characters. |

When a game like that is added to the DB by a new user, I feel like it should be deleted without checking and ask the user to justify its addition (undeletion) by linking to the inclusion guidelines.Last modified on 2023-03-23 at 07:21 |
| #5121 by Yorhel 2023-03-23 at 08:45 | < report >More generally, if a game's just been added and there's reasonable doubt that it matches the inclusion criteria, then I'm all for a delete-fast approach. That saves time and effort on both sides. It's on the uploader to argue that it should be included. |
