Topic	Wifebolo plays House in Fata Morgana [progressive spoilers]
Llarian 04/20/21 11:14:30 AM #96:	KamikazePotato posted... I heard about it from several people on B8 who's opinions I trust regarding VNs, who were shilling it. Probably ArkOfTurus (hello). I was thinking less 'everyone is too pretty' and more that the art style is very gothic horror style. Which I absolutely adore, but the more standard anime style is definitely more marketable to a wider audience. Even on B8, which generally is open-minded about VNs, it's not an easy sell. 12 Sentinels came out recently and immediately amassed a higher fanbase (not that it doesn't deserve to get popular) despite Fata Morgana being out for years and advertised repeatedly by people here. Part of that is because its cast was young and had animesque character designs. People are just...well, used to that. That's fair. I searched for 12 Sentinels but found 13 Sentinels...? Art style is definitely more anime with sepia tone. I see what you mean. The gothic horror thing isn't everyone's cup of tea. There seems to be plenty of heavy VNs that mitigate their dark content with cuter, moe-style art. Even the dinner roll hands of 07th expansion's Umineko or Higurashi OG sprites takes a little of the edge off, imo. When I was playing episode 1 of Umineko a couple years back, I used the newer sprites because they were still colorful and appealing, but a little bit easier for me to take seriously. This isn't a bad thing, or a dig at that style of art or presentation. To each their own. What other dark/gothic horror art have you liked in games? --- Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself...: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize? -Marcus Aurelius <cite>Llarian posted [p:953033695] in Wifebolo p...
