These games require multiple playthroughs to fully understand just what is going on, but it’s time you’ll never regret spending. Visual Novel meets escape room puzzles, as the story takes multiple twists and turns depending on which path you take to escape. The first two titles 999 and Virtue’s Last Reward are available as one pack titled The Nonary Gamesand the final installment is the stand alone Zero Time Dilemmaall available physically and digitally. This is possibly my favourite Visual Novel series of all time and all installments are available on PlayStation Vita. While there was an English release of Chaos Childof the same series for Vita digital and physical, many other releases in the series such as Chaos Head Dual , Steins Gate Linear Bounded Phenogram, Steins Gate My Darling’s Embrace, Steins Gate Elite, and Robotic Notes Elite, only saw a release in Japanese on Vita, though they have often been ported to English on other consoles. Steins Gate tells the story of Okabe Rintaro, mad scientist who creates time travel via text message. Steins Gate and its prequel Steins Gate 0 are about as close to pure visual novel as you can get with little player input, yet they are still heralded as some of the greatest stories of all time. My personal favourite is Danganronpa V3 though perhaps I am biased as I waited so long for release. The key to Danganronpa is the shock and awe so I will say nothing more here, save that all 3 games are available both digitally and physically, though copies are becoming rarer. Think Phoenix Wright meets The Hunger Games where 15 students enter a killing game where only the student who pulls of the perfect unsolvable murder can be set free. There is a reason why everyone recommends Danganronpa every time people are looking for Vita games. VNs are MADE for portable systems and while many are making the move over to the Nintendo Switch, the Vita still has an outstanding library ready to be enjoyed. Next up in my series of recommendations of Vita players I have chosen another genre that the PlayStation Vita is synonymous for: Visual Novels. Rogue-Like Rhythm RPG Metroidvania Horror
