To warn you. The game is just 30-45 minutes long and the story is kinda standard. The art, music and VA is well done though.
I enjoyed it.

I must not be looking at the right places but it seems that it is very difficult to find a visual novel type of game with voice acting and huge amount of choices. games without any voice acting and no decision making just bores me to death. i feel like im reading a book instead of playing a game

As a heads-up, I'm totally letting you guys know what I think of The Evil Within and going to play it for hours once it releases out at midnight. If it disappoints me, surpasses my expectations, or any other outcome, I'll let you know.

Man if only I wasn't a scaredy cat and had an interest in horror games. That 2nd gif was really neat.

I linked my gala accounts, I still can't use my gala points for anything at all and I have insane amounts of them (><)

Saving 20 cents seems not worth the hassle the work to link the gala points and actually be able to use them

Edit: LastPass warned me if I wanted to give out my credentials to the page, wtf?

Well, it's difficult to find translated ones for obvious reasons. The big visual novels are massive and it's a pain to translate all the text.

There is always Katawa Shoujo , no voice acting, but a decent amount of choices with five big branches that lead to different stories and choices within them.

And well, there are also fan translations of japanese ones.

not that difficult, for example here

VA isn't common thing though still, as it would make VNs too expensive and VN scene is totally overrun by dating sims lately, what's a pity.

Saya no Uta isn't exactly a novel with many choices and is relatively short. And just because some are translated it doesn't mean, that it isn't a pain in the arse.

I think Higurashi has VA, hopefully the Steam version will too.

Thanks, Shadownet! Installing right now, it will be a nice way to change gears after 70 hours of Borderlands 2
and before trying to solo the Seraph guardians for dat 100% achievement comletion

BTW, Milamber, Grimock is next on my queue... I just killed the regular final boss of the Tiny Tina DLC last night :p Thanks for that, again!

I don't think I can bring myself to buy a WiiU, sorry Steam-GAF. I'm having too much fun on my laptop. I kind of miss console gaming, but as much as I enjoyed the Wii games I played I don't think I can go for the WiiU. I'll probably get a PS4 eventually, but it'll take a while for the exclusives to build up in order to justify it. Doesn't help that I have very little space in my budget for big purchases these days.

Valve should just drop mad cash and buy Nintendo. Then we can finally talk about when the next Zelda game is coming to Steam.

*wishful thinking*

you did this on purpose, didn't you?
rudeness is rampant in this thread (><)
my reason for posting that link was Steins Gate, first and foremost. Why is it still not on steam? why? (._.)

Finally, after months I completed my book, fixing all errors too.
I just need to add a couple of things and probably I will ship it during this week. Now fingers crossed.

I kinda want a Wii U now. I also want a GTX 970, though.

What do you think are the chances that people around me will understand my hints and decide to give me one of these 2 things for Christmas, instead of many smaller gifts?
I think pretty slim

not a chance
whenever I hint about upgrades and such I get clothes, every single time (><)

Yes they are....but over time around 5 6 months down the line...but that time nobody would even open this page..

That's certainly not true. People are getting all the time on old pages, through google, links to posts somebody saved for whatever reason or while researching someones post history. Google is very sensitive to breaking the rules, so I can see the precaution.
