Visual Novels for Android
Combining the prose of a novella with the decision-making of a game, these are some of the best visual novels I’ve played recently:
Days of the Divine
Set in an ancient Asian-fantasy setting, ancient gods waken and you mediate their conflicts as a shrine maiden. Three vastly different endings, plot twists, and solid characters are accompanied by beautiful art and soundtrack. Available for Win, Mac, Linux, Android.
Nanolife
From the same developers, but with a completely different tone and theme, this visual novel has you take the part of an MMO character who thinks the game world is real. Funny and sweet. Available for Win, Mac, Linux, Android.
a2 ~a due~
Polished, poignant visual novel about a young woman who’s forced to manage her father’s orchestra, with themes of overcoming language barriers and parental expectations. Available for Win, Mac, Linux, Android.
