would this be a good VN to start with? I've only played DDLC before and am curious what else is in the genre

@ThatOneKilla68 maybe not your first lol but I definitely recommend. Zero Escape, Danganronpa and Ace Attorney would be better starting points I think

@Thatonekilla68 no

@ThatOneKilla68 play ever 17 it'll blow your mind bro trust me
