Re: Question Thread
DS:
- I highly recommend the Phoenix Wright trilogy. Basically a visual novel about a lawyer guy defending the innocent, and magical doodaddery plays a part because it's a video game. It's got an ensemble cast, and it's localization is pretty damn smartly written, even if it takes place in Vaguely America Totally.
- Hotel Dusk: Room 215. Another visual novel style game, and it follows a noir detective solving a mystery at some shit stain hotel. Cing also made a sequel for it, Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, that only got released in Japan and Europe. Very much worth importing if you're not in either. and speaking of Cing, I'd also check out Trace Memory (also called "Another Code" in EUR). It was released as launch title for the NDS iirc, and it certainly tries to showcase the features lol. But it's a mystery about an island and amnesiac ghost boy! Lotta pixel hunting though.
- Don't know if it's harder to get now, but 999, as well as its sequel on 3DS/Vita. More visual novel stuff, but it's setting is a mix of escape room and kinda-sorta-Saw and human elimination games. And math. Lot's of reading if you are into pure story, as well as puzzles.
- Maybe Trauma Center? That's technically an action game though, and I do hear people get very stressed playing it. But it's so wonderful :(
- Do you possibly enjoy music rhythm games? Play Elite Beat Agents or Ouendan (1 and/or 2). Technically not story heavy, technically episodic, but I swear these games use their levels in the best overarching plots all of the time.
- ooooh oooh before I forget, the Layton games are obvious for this too! Other mention would be Ghost Trick, which I really love because it has ghosts and rube golderg machine gameplay.
PC
I know I'm reccing pretty text-heavy games that are basically VNs anyway, but here's an actual PC VN you should play! Analogue: A Hate Story is about investigating a derelict spaceship, figuring out what the hell happened to its crew, and prying information from the onboard AI (who may have been tampered with).
Also, play some Sam & Max. Whether it's the older games you'd have to emulate (Hit the Road), or the Telltale series, it's just a funny adventure game about a detective dog and his ridiculous rabbit bro solving dumb mysteries. The only thing I'd warn you about here is that adventure games in general tend to box you into single solutions to puzzles that don't always make sense or force you to present them in a specific order; these games keep true to that, so sometimes you do need to rely on cartoon logic.
I'd rec more PC stuff, but steam just isn't loading on me, so I can't check my library >:U
