Hello, internet person here. I read and very much enjoyed the Horror from Beyond Time, even if it took about nine months to make it from bookmark to brain. Still a few things in bookmark state but they all brain in the end.
Oh my God, Danganrompa...I've had such a hard time pushing that rec to other gamers, and it's not for lack of trying. Not just a great detective game, not just a great VN, not just a really interesting story with lovely twists, not just a slappin' soundtrack...I think unfortunately it comes off too "Japanese-weird" to people who aren't accustomed to such aesthetics, or they associate it with other things in same genres negatively. Which is a shame, since part of the enjoyment comes from knowing such conventions and the game thumbing its nose at them. And like, yeah, it is kinda violent? But it's all wrapped in such an absurd comic-book style that I feel like the (objectively really horrific) murders are a lot less upsetting than they would be otherwise. I mean there are a lot less tasteful ways you could do a The Devil on G-String plot. Such a good time that I wish more people would...give a shot.
