I think why these three games couldn't have succeeded under anyone BUT the goons of 4chan is because no one understands the feeling of being screwed-up outcasts better than 4chan. The average thread will probably showcase enough life experience to fill a generation's worth of lifetimes, but society is always gonna see them as just some goblins. And to top it off, they don't really hide how much of it tends to be self-inflicted. They actually understand what it feels like to WANT to be normal. So these VNs are essentially the journeys of these characters trying to find THEIR "normal." Contrast that to GBVH, the game Cavemanon parodied, being this utterly bizarre "My fellow kids" act by a clique of pretentious hipsters and privileged theater kids who only pretend to be normal, when they're completely out of touch with the average person. All they do is roleplay as victims, try to surround themselves with sycophants, hog the spotlight whenever they can, only to learn nothing from their histrionics. There is no journey to be found. This is their "normal." And it's reflected by how utterly pointless GBVH's narrative was. All the more insulting is that the "game" was made on Canadian taxpayer dollars.
@@GigiBranconi don’t do that, it's not worth it, just post as anonymous that's what everyone in 4chan does. People will lay it on you hard, and insult you a lot, but if you can tank that you'll find a very supportive community, very tough love, and they will use the hard R a lot, so it is not for the fainted heart. One post they will reply you with a bunch of brutally honest insults, but in the next one they will with you a beautiful day, being supportive and empathize with you if life is harsh to you. It's a mixed bag, tbh, but I rather experience that than twitter, that place wont use the hard R on you but if you make a mistake they will cancel you and doxx you.
The menu music brings me PTSD, this game absolutely broke me, I played it while recovering from losing my arm so Hisao's thoughts and struggles hit me like a TRUCK. What an absolutely great game.
A visual novel I would recommend is a VN called YOU and ME and HER. It’s one of the best VNs i ever played and if you do play, bring a notebook or something like that with you if you go for fully beating the game.
Your voice, reactions and overall presentation is really enjoyable Bui, you mentioned in another video you don't youtube much. But there's a niche that you've hit, and you've hit it hard and fast. You've gained a fan here!
Congratulations, you are now a certified Human™️ Jokes aside, thank you, seriously. Thank you for experiencing this incredible piece of art. It's weird that I'm thanking someone for playing a free game huh? But for Katawa Shoujo, I feel the need to thank them for playing, because I know that afterwards, they all emerge as a better person, and that deserves praise. Thank you
Now play Everlasting Summer. It's a Visual Novel made by what's basically Russian 4chan. It has like... 12 endings or something like that, and it's a very sweet game. I would say that it's not as good as Katawa Shoujo and Snoot Game, but it's still very impactful, and it has a sort of wondrous aura. Like... do you remember those days back in school, running around with friends, getting in trouble with teachers and all that? Everlasting Summer reaaaaaally captures that vibe. It even has a very famous mod(made by one of the developers) that adds something like... 60 different endings?
While we're at the topic of imageboard-produced VN, I'd like to mention Everlasting summer, made on russian iichan. It's pretty nice, and was a huge phenomenon here, when it came out. But honestly, you need a little break from that romance-drama stuff, and pseudo-science of Zero Escape series is quite nice for that. Also, just finished your two previous videos yesterday, so the timing is perfect. Keep it up
Since you've been going down the rabbit hole of visual novels and stories that hurt you id like to throw out in stars and time it's more RPG but very dialogue heavy and think it would be very up your alley at this point 🙂
Just want to let you know I played the gator game during the currently shittiest point in my life and then immediately found your channel. I then played Snoot game when I saw you also had a video on it. I'm grateful to find a channel that I could experience a game along side. That's all. Good luck and godspeed
Despite the fact that your very new and don't do youtube much i think you hit a mark I haven't really seen done in awhile so I'm glad your here whenever you are. Also if you take recommendations i do recommend night in the woods as it will most likely destroy you by the end of game like it did for me.
Hey Bui, watching you share your genuine first impressions was extremely heartfelt and enjoyable. Things will be different now since you've covered the 4chan champions of the genre, but I'm glad for you that you did it so thoroughly. And for myself to be reminded of the good lessons Anons shared with us all. :]
Oh my god i just realized you played these in the same exact order i did. Did a blind playthrough of Wani, Snoot game and Katawa shoujo in that order. Haven't seen the video yet but just from the other videos you've done i know this one is going to be great. I also realize you probably feel as empty as i do now, looking forward to watching the video.
Emi and Lilly are my 2 fav girls. Also a couple of VNs I recommend are Shining Song Starnova and Changeling Tale. Definitely not as impactful as Snoot, Wani, or Katawa, but I think do have interesting enough stories and are well made enough to give a try.
katawa shoujo is great, however, did you know that the beta version of the game is available if you look. shizune and hanako's route are VASTLY different, much darker than the rest of the game.
Next up rance 01 (the new timeline) or evenicle, alicesoft how the f do you make something that has more heart and soul than most video games while also be something that’s known as degenerate.
You might have thought that Wani was peak, but this is the actual peak. No other VN will ever satisfy you the way that KS does. Enjoy your perpetual disappointment from here on out.
Please upload more often if possible, Also you should make a series for these games instead of a singular video cause 1 hour for me just feels like its not enough.
Holy trinity achieved. You are now a certified soul-haver.
4 chan at this point may as well be the unspoken deity of visual novels. They cuaght lightning in a bottle three times. THREE.
wani was alright, not on the same level as snoot and ks tho
@@adeptguy2116still is one of the best visual novels out there, even if it's the weakest of the bunch
The feels have been achieved once again. You can rest...
For now.

Idiocracy is the goal, Chaos is the prerogative... of the owners that shouldn't be (the ones destroying your nation).
Huh...
Maybe I should make a 4chan account sometimes.
I get that feeling.
Autism sucks.

My bro, I'm Mexican. Yesterday I found your IWHTG video and Snoot Game. And today you bring me this, damn you are great brother!!
The menu music brings me PTSD, this game absolutely broke me, I played it while recovering from losing my arm so Hisao's thoughts and struggles hit me like a TRUCK. What an absolutely great game.
Ever since Caveman made those games, I just love AnthroXHuman relationships but damn.
A visual novel I would recommend is a VN called YOU and ME and HER.
It’s one of the best VNs i ever played and if you do play, bring a notebook or something like that with you if you go for fully beating the game.
Well buddy, now you have played 4chan's magnum opuses and can say that you really have a soul. Good job

41:25 I love how you bring this up. Because that is the whole story of Emi. Very physical but closed off emotionally.
Congratulations, you are now a certified Human™️

You are now the 4chan VN UA-camr
This man came back and just uploaded 3 visual novels in a row i think we found what he needed he must now play fate/stay night

He is BACK and he is COOKING 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I used to date a girl with heart arythmia but honestly it never really came up beyond "hey i might die randomly at any point"
Where's my wife, Olivia

The OG I played this so long ago and remember everything thank you autism each route is unbelievable amazing I adore this game
I can't even lie. The second I saw that fence, same thing popped into my head. 9:27

Like always a amazing video. The intro with some spanish guitar music from Ace Combat Zero and the outro with Pixy's speech are a very nice touch.
i recomend you to play clannad next, its one of the best visual novels
😅
Please don't try to kill the guy, I like him.
BRO NO
Adding this to my watch later. I still need to sit down and go through what this game has to offer. Will try and return after. Good luck!
You made it. You absolute mad man. You made ir through all the way
Emi and Lilly are my 2 fav girls.
Also a couple of VNs I recommend are Shining Song Starnova and Changeling Tale. Definitely not as impactful as Snoot, Wani, or Katawa, but I think do have interesting enough stories and are well made enough to give a try.
So does this make you a Visual Novel channel now or...?
Post ending edit: yes
If I had a nickel every time four chan made a good visual novel I would have two nickels it isn't much but it's weird it happens twice
Its great to see you making videos about these novels, cant wait to see more!
I love these style of videosw
katawa shoujo is great, however, did you know that the beta version of the game is available if you look. shizune and hanako's route are VASTLY different, much darker than the rest of the game.
Fucking. Peak. Fiction.
Congratulations on 2k! 🎉🎉🎉
9:27 Why would you do that to me bro? I was just closing them wounds
BTW, Wani finnaly open the steam workshop, now we just wait for good mods to enter it.
HOOO BUCKLE IN, BOYS
Gimme the chocolate, Hisao
Next up rance 01 (the new timeline) or evenicle, alicesoft how the f do you make something that has more heart and soul than most video games while also be something that’s known as degenerate.
LETS GOOOO
You might have thought that Wani was peak, but this is the actual peak. No other VN will ever satisfy you the way that KS does. Enjoy your perpetual disappointment from here on out.
So real. How many games have I played since KS that couldn't move me the same way? Too many...
do you know about the "kenji ending"?
You should try goodbye volcano high
U should check out the fate stay/night VNs
Please upload more often if possible, Also you should make a series for these games instead of a singular video cause 1 hour for me just feels like its not enough.
Can we keep the censorship bunny
Pls play class of 09
I recommend playing Stein's Gate. It really fucks with you.
Not again
