Social recommendations and mentions

• The fun factor of the video game Uplink

  For your consideration for Uplink successors, the BBS era visual novel Digital: A Love Story. https://scoutshonour.com/digital/ Excellent visual novel you can finish over a weekend or two. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• [Humble Bundle] Love is in the Air bundle - Sucker for Love, Max Gentlemen Sexy Business, When the Past Was Around, Ambition, ValiDate, A Story Beside, Later Daters, and Kaichu ($16.34 CAD)

  More broadly I'm sure there are many good freeware and/or demo dating sims to start out in the genre although I'm not versed enough to recommend any offhand (unless you count Digital: a Love Story). Source: about 1 year ago

  Digital: A Love Story is a pretty unique experience set in the dial-up BBS days before public internet. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Do people mostly play anime visual novels?

  First of all, consider the world of Interactive Fiction! Ever play 9:05? Give it a shot, promise it won't take long. Digital a Love Story, is another take on the genre. There's even a traditional VN as a sequel! Source: about 2 years ago

• Are there any other games like this one?

  For something more technically simplistic, but a lot more plot-driven, try Digital: A Love Story. That one is a favorite of mine, and actually made me cry. Source: about 2 years ago

• What interactive fiction platform ya'll use (if you guys are IF content makers)?

  I'll also second the other user who recommended Ren'Py as an accessible creation too, but I've never been able to produce enough art to justify trying to make an out-and-out VN.

  Anyone wanting to relive some of the vibe of the BBS era should try out this free indie game, Digital: A Love Story: https://scoutshonour.com/digital/ I've forgotten more than I remember, but the constraints are all important to how the experience was: fixed width screens, chunky graphics, async communication, locked phone lines, whiffs of the larger Internet coming.

• A book that is written to the reader.

  Does it have to be a book? If a fully text-based game is okay, check out Digital: A Love Story by Christine Love. Source: almost 3 years ago

• OELVN's before Katawa Shoujo?

  The only OELVNs I've read that predate Katawa Shoujo would be Christine Love's early work. Digital: A Love Story and don't take it personally babe, it just ain't your story. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Why????? This whole nostalgia pandering is getting insane! This is one of the worst video games ever made! It's not even a game! Lol

  It still qualifies as a visual novel ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . There are visual novels out there that don't even have pictures. Source: almost 3 years ago
