Welcome to my Backlog!
I'm not a professional reviewer, currently, so I kinda don't have a quota and just get to things when I can. Visual novels, as a genre, are quite time consuming to play through, so timeframes to get to anything on this backlog can vary. If you're interested in seeing anything in particular, and it isn't on this backlog (or is quite late in the backlog and you'd like to see it sooner), feel free to message me on Bluesky at @pell.quest, or email me at pell@pell.quest!
Each item on each list has a link to where it can be bought. Many VNs are heavily censored on Steam, and any that are will be linked to on either JAST Store or MangaGamer, or wherever else they can be purchased. Be aware, these stores may have adult material!
Bolded items on the shortlist are currently in-progress.
Items on either list marked with a 🚫 are unlikely to be reviewed, either because they're not indie or not a VN, or because I don't want to.
Items on either list marked with a 💵 next to them are not owned and cost money. Funding games will ensure they make it onto the shortlist earlier. For opportunities like this, feel free to contact me, although I do not guarantee positive reviews.
Thank you for your understanding!
