VIsual Novels with *Unique* Art style

[SweetShark]

I just finished the first Danganronpa [please no spoilers for the other games] and it is a very good game, with sadly some major issues [mostly plot-holes].
However the thing that made me play the game is the unique art style it have. I really digging it:

I have plans to play next Steins;Gate as well which of course it have some beatiful and unique art style as well:

Spoiler

and then there are some specific adult VN I love how the characters look and feel with their animations:

Spoiler

Dorei to no Seikatsu -Teaching Feeling-

Rondo Duo

So can you suggest to me unique looking Visuals Novels like the ones I posted?

Thank you

P.S.
Please don't post weird looking VN like the Skeleton and Meat VNs I saw in the past....

I have a couple.
But I see you have "Dorei to no Seikatsu -Teaching Feeling-."
I like it, but it could have had more in general.

Spoiler: Ourai no Gahkthun ~What a Shining Braves~

A steampunk VN, where characters are such iconic figures from science, like Tesla, Tesla, and Tesla.
Did I mention Tesla?

Also, while you get scenes like that, the meat is more from the second image. At least from what I've read.

Spoiler: Period

Not so much a single game, but the publisher LittleWitch usually goes by the style, which is drawn by Ooyari Ashito.
He's a pretty damn dedicated guy, I'll say. Plus, I really like his style, it's... gentle, light, and very different from the current style of things.

It has some nice romance. As long as you can stand the character design... which I love, because it's more my thing.

I guess Sharin No Kuni is pretty unique now that I think about it. Everything is done in watercolour paint, even the characters have very small shades of watercolour involved if you look closely.

Of course the story involves a decent amount of paint and sunflowers but i'd expect nothing less from Akabeisoft2 who tend to take story themes to the next level.

Give it a look, i'm kinda expecting it to show up on Steam at random one day because their other game i've played, G-Senjo no Maou just dropped onto Steam out of nowhere. Both are really great VNs, G-Senjo especially if you're a mystery fan. Buy the voiced version too, I dunno why there's a no voice version because the voices are fuckin' top tier and no other Sekai Project published game has that option. Maybe there's a patch out there somewhere you could cheese in? Wouldn't be surprised.

Hmm, I don't consider these unique but that may be because of my vast anime experience, though they're definitely beautiful art styles. Well, this just means I'll have an easy time recommending stuff.

Danganronpa is not a pure visual novel like Steins btw, so I shall start wih another visual novel hybrid;

Tears to Tiara 2. It is a visual novel srpg hybrid with one of the best stories ever. You know how people say they wish jrpgs were epic like back in the day, well, this game is that and more. The visual novel is the majority of the game and the cast of voice actors is godlike, so definitely give it a go.

Now on pure visual novels, Saya no uta for horror as well as really unique designs. Clannad is also worh it but beware it'll make grown men cry. Finally, a sleeper hit is Harvest December on the 3DS, it is rather plain but you get absorbed before you realize.

That why I have wrote *Unique* like that, because, well, they are still Very typical Anime character in reality. I just like the "twist" for the way they were drawn.

Saya no Uta isn't have something unique for its art style, but it is one of the best VN I ever played even you make only two choices in the whole game.

Clannad......I hope to be a good game, but it doesn't have nothing unique what so ever.
It look so Anime it make me hurt.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

Hehe, this is what I mean, I've been watching anime for something like 23 years so all styles look 100% anime to me. Steins gate or Dangan is not at all less anime than clannad, they're just different flavors of anime but both are 100% equally as much anime. Anime isn't just the few shows that are popular. It entails a ton of different styles.

If you like games over visual novels, I would suggest 999 or Corpse Party; both have wonderful styles and character designs, as well as being fantastic games.

For a pure, attractive style though, I would personally first go for anything by Key; if you want something easier to access though (especially in English) I HAVE to suggest Code: Realize.

Eiyuu Senki is my fav Ashito drawn game, he really went nuts with something like 70+ different chars who all somehow manage to be unique. Unless someone dislikes his tendency to make a lot of lolis, I can't see why they'd not like that artstyle.

Littlewitch Romanesque was great too, of course.

so is that a video game at all my friend or just a visual novel which you are just reading the story?

also thats the most generic and animu girly game/visual novel i have seen.

Ah yes, I know the artist of the Littlewitch games. Very different indeed with respect.

With that said I decided to post other "unique" looking VNs just for your enjoyment:

We Know the Devil

The Miskatonic *not yet released*

Phenomeno - Mitsurugi Yoishi wa Kowagaranai

I always liked the art style in Forest and other VN's of the company:

Looks like a story book, a really fucked up story book, but nice.

At first I didn't thought much of it, but then I saw other images as well.
Look pretty. Is it an RPG/VN Hybrid?

No, regular VN, also rather short (6-8 hours if I recall), but has multiple choices (though I'd recommend a walkthrough), be warend that there's lolicon in it though you can argue it's "technically" legal.

Also something I've been wondering for a long time, wasn't this song in the game also played in Heroes 3 for the forest faction? Does it have an official name?

Do you mean Heroes of Might & Magic 3?
Wow, I need to search to tell you for sure.
And to think this one is one of the best strategy games I ever played...

Quartett has a unique art style. It also has a rather unique presentation in that it doesn't have the usual talking portraits before a background but instead has a comic book style set up and unique artwork for every scene. The art style is what I would describe as, feathery.

Hhm... I suppose Swan Song might also be considered to have a unique art style, though the plot is... rather severe.

And of course there's always Galaxy Angel, although some might call the art style overly simple, I think it still counts as being unique.

(And no, I won't explain what's going on here)

There's also the very very good short VN, Juniper's Knot. Admittedly most of the story takes place in one spot so there's not much variation but... I guess I'm just too attached to it to not recommend it.

There's also Highschool Romance on Steam, which has a very different art style than is normal, it's the first I've seen to put such a heavy emphasis on a more American style of characters.

And last but not least I have Dues Machina Demonbane. It has that sort of... Gothic? anime style? I think some of why it's unique is due to it having different subject matter from usual VN's (In that its plot is derived from the Cthulhu Mythos)

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

Quartette is definitely drawn by Ashito who we brought up earlier. Adorable as ever.

Al Azif is in the new nitroplus fighter btw, she's hype.

 

[SweetShark]

*Pics of different kind of VNs*

Yeah, I had my eyes of "Highschool Romance" just for looking so different from the other Anime looking ones. I hope to be good at least when I start playing it.

I guess I can suggest other one as well:

Spoiler

The House in Fatamorgana

Zero Escape Series

The Letter *no yet out*
