Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Heya!
No, I have not heard about I/O revision II! It sounds mighty interesting, though; I'll have to take a gander at it sometime! o: Got any other good recommendations? I'd love to go through whatever suggestions you have!
Gladly! I'd be surprised if you haven't read a few of these already, but these are all some of my favorites (in no particular order):

1) The previously mentioned I/O revision II, which is basically my favorite VN of all time
2) Steins;Gate
3) Chaos;Head (it loses its way a bit at the end, so I can't give it a glowing review like I can its successor, but the first two-thirds or so are great)
4) Rewrite
5) Little Busters
6) Remember11 (this is one hell of a ride, and still remains one of the most engaging VNs I've ever read; even if it does leave things unanswered, I liked it better than Ever17, which felt repetitive to me)
7) The Devil on G String
8) World End Economica
999) 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors (and the rest of the Zero Escape series, for that matter)

Assuming you've read Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night, the lesser-known Kagetsu Tohya and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia are pretty good (albeit short). Cross Channel was good if you can stand the perverted protagonist. Umineko no Naku Koro ni is good, but I'm only partway through it myself. At least a few people here will recommend titles such as Utawarerumono, Danganronpa, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Ayakashibito, and Fruit of Grisaia, but I haven't read any of them personally (it seems my backlog only ever grows larger). Analogue: A Hate Story is another one I've heard good things about but have yet to read.

edit: Adding to the list of "VNs I have yet to read but have heard great things about," Root Double was recently released on Steam this year.

Hey new dog guy, what's shakin'? My name is Gnarlymaple. Do you enjoy

1) classic platformers?
2) rap/hip hop music?
3) crippling depression?
4) lifting weights?

if yes to any, I think we'll get along just fine!
Well... I enjoy most of those things (besides crippling depression, but mainly because it's not very enjoyable to begin with), so I guess we will! o:

Dogs are great!! But I agree, real dogs are difficult to draw. I struggle with their faces, and often just give them goofy little dot eyes and cartoony looks.

Ooh, yes, the faces are especially difficult to draw. I kinda do the same thing, so I can relate a little bit! o:>

Oooh, I've heard of Steins;Gate but never really gave it a chance. I guess I should now, huh? :P
Oh, and I've played 999, but never really got around to finishing it! It's good from what I played, but I think I got stuck and decided, "Welp, time to play something else," and never got back to it. I'll give it another go sooner or later! :D

Thank you for the good stuff, leaf!

The only acceptable rap is the DK Rap.

NP.

And yes, you definitely should read Steins;Gate. I consider it required reading for any VN fan. Prior to reading I/O, it topped my list for best VN I've ever read. Nice thing about the way it does its routes, is you can get 4 endings in one playthrough, then get the true end on the next.

While we're on the subject, have you got any that you would particularly recommend? What was your favorite VN you've ever read?

Well, I actually haven't read that many visual novels (to the point of maybe being a fake fan?) but I do recommend Katawa Shoujo. It's got some wonderful characters and routes, and there's always either a reason to laugh or a reason to cry while playing it.
For good reason, obviously! ^.^;

Hm, sounds like you would be a fan of KEY's visual novels, then. Clannad is a classic, but you may want to start with their more modern ones. You really can't go wrong with Little Busters.
