Sooo.. anyone likes visual novels with multiple endings? :3 I personally love them and other games with multiple endings too! Like OneShot for example, I'll never forget that game.

Well anyways, I decided to create a little train for my cakeday. Last year I made it late, so I figured out, why not making it this year early?^^

Have fun, don't get lost.

Jump on!

P.S You don't need to be on WL to explore the train, but if you'd like to get into that one other cart, then leave any comment in this thread. I'll maybe randomly add you, who knows.^^

Hints:
Searching for the first three endings? Well don't forget to bump the thread when you're at it. You can also try to (not) get lost in the train.
Have you ever played "odd one out"? You can now prove your skills^^

Unsure about the order? Check the third ending, you'll find more clues there.

Do you play visual novels? Or do you play multiple-endings games maybe?

Yay, visual novels are the best!
I like multiple-endings games, it doesn't have to be novels though.
I don't really care if a game has multiple-endings or not^^
I play only with my potato pet, almost like pet rock but more squishy.

I've actually got oneshot sitting in my backlog and I actually havent played it, you able to give me like the vibe of the game + how long on avg it'll take? now that you've mentioned it i may actually get around to playing it haha

Its quite short, average playtime would be about 7 hours. But for these 7 hours you'll get an experience which you'll always remember^^ Gameplay and story were really unique, I wasn't expecting a lot of stuff that happened with the puzzles.. and I'm used to do a lot of overthinking, but this blew my mind. I don't want to spoil it too much, but feel free to give it a shot if you're up for an interesting experience^^ And remember, you have only one shot!

thing is - do you actually have only one shot to actually play it? or is that just the selling punch line?

oh god the intrigue - the only problem is I like getting achievements so if i know ive only got one run id want to get them all in that run which in turn would just ruin the game for me

Yayyy, I'm glad you liked it! The idea of solstice ending seemed really wholesome to me when I played it. The only thing that I'm missing now is Niko plushie, hopefully they'll restock it someday.

I have never played a visual novel - but i have played games with multiple endings, for example spec ops: the line. And also Bioshock. If a game lets you see the other endings with like 5-10 minutes of work then I will restart from a save and do it. But if you need to replay the entire game like Tyranny or Bioshock, then I won't do it.

Happy cakeday!

I play vn's with and without multiple endings and I don't mind their length (ok preferably not 20 minutes xD )
There was one I got recently that was about a girl that has no magic in a world where all have and another cool one that got me hooked about a magic school in a way where they compete (reminded me of harry ootter Quidich or however it is written) with magic powers to brake and befend crystal balls.
Of course some modern classics are good too like the letter or dry drowning.. Unfortunately I'm bad with names unless something is bundled xD

And I'd like to explore the cart.. Mysteries are intriguing for me :P

Oh, I also love mystery & fantasy genres^^ Sadly I don't know many titles.. yet :D But I'm after psychology ones too, Psycho-pass was a great anime and I bought VN version of it too, so hopefully it will be just as good.

Oh! I just noticed that you have in your recently played this game: She Wants Me Dead. Its an awesome song, I didn't know that there was actually also a game for it. I'll keep an eye out for it when summer sales will come^^

Happy belated cake day. Hope it was a great one. Not sure on visual novel. I think I have read them and not even know if they are visual novels to even know if I like them or not. Maybe some recommendation and I'll look more into it.

"OneShot" has long attracted and interested me. This game has been on my wishlist for 4 years... 😄
Someday I will definitely play it! 🎈

Have a bump for a great train!

I don't mind multiple endings, but for most games I just do the one play-through and watch the other endings on YouTube or something. Too much repetition ain't my thing, life is too short.

Visual novels helped me tremendously when I was so sad and helpless in the past. They helped me improve my English and served as a getaway from harsh reality. Nowadays I'm not reading any but I'd like to! My favorites were Clannad, Rewrite and Lucky Rabbit Reflex. I even attempted to make my own visual novels through Ren'Py, although all left unfinished.

Ah I'm the same when it comes to Ren'Py. I always had many ideas for stories, even as a kid and I though that I'll write at least one book in my life. But always after a few pages I stopped writing, I'm a big procrastinator and forcing myself to write more didn't work out.
For Ren'Py even though it was easier than writing on paper, I didn't find any free sprites that I would like and I was too lazy to search more, so I was always stuck in the first part - getting art :D I love discussing ideas with my friends though, sometimes it even feels like we're playing D&D when we get into the story too much. I just wish I was less lazy when it comes to writing^^

I also wanted to write that I'm glad for you that you found your way to novels. I can totally recommend Our Life: Beginnings & Always and Magical Otoge Ciel if you'd be searching for something from the same genre^^ (both are f2p)

Another big procrastinator here, lol. There used to be a pretty good site back in 2013-2014 that offered a lot of free sprites and backgrounds but I don't remember the name unfortunately... While I was working on one game I got stuck with coding, facing a lot of errors, then it turned into spaghetti and I decided to give up. The projects are still on my hard drive though, so maybe in the future I'll give it another shot.

Thanks for your recommendations, both of them look pretty interesting. Happy cakeday and also thanks for the train!

IF the VN is well written, interesting characters and situations and all that, yes, I play and like them. Not my fav form of narrative gaming, but I do like some now and them. Still waiting to get Eliza.

And happy cakeday!

Although I have couple VNs sitting in my library, I can't say I love them, but that's mostly just because I know I like some other types of games more. Which is weird, cause I love reading normal novels.
Multiple ending are neat, but lack of perfect endings is usually quite saddening :(

Anyway, happy cakeday! :3
