the cafe bookshelf is now open

ยท 2-minute read

the tiny wanderer cafe now has a visual novel shelf for you to browse!

visual novel covers with text blurbs and no graphics

i've been wanting to add this for a while but i finally got around to it after the queer games blind date event i had a chance to talk at yesterday.

the zine introduces a bunch of cool queer games with only text! it was made to fundraise for NAMNAM, a queer space in koenji. check it out!!!

i think for visual novels, being specifically visual, usually players are drawn first by screenshots & the graphics. but i thought it would be fun to do something where instead of buying for the cover as such, there was something like the blind date with a book where you just chose a visual novel based on a blurb of text.

i wasn't sure how i wanted to do it digitally at first (since the blind date with a book things i've seen were generally at libraries & bookshops where they wrapped actual books in paper), but i think i've got a pretty fun system worked out!

please forgive the use of javascript to make you jump to a link without showing you the link first... i didn't want to show the link because it felt like it would be spoilers for what the visual novel was ๐Ÿ™ˆ

for now it's just visual novels i've made & ones that i like, but i'd like to add more! the order is randomised every time i update the site which i think is fun too.

i hope you'll enjoy some visual novels!
