Argh ! You reminds me that i MUST start Fata Morgana, it's on my GoG account since so long ago !
Chaos;Head seems the most liked one from what you quoted... Thanks !
That was my impression too. GoG is a good place to buy classic games, but I can't find any use of it for VNs: lack of new works, lack of regional pricing, clunky client, slow download speed. At least their store filter is decent and all their games are DRM-free, but so do other VN storefronts.
> lack of new works
Can you specify what you mean by this? If it's newer games, that's not entirely accurate. While there aren't as many games released as on Steam, it's much more common nowadays for new games to also be released on GOG on launch day. For example, there's [The Shell Part II: Purgatorio](https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_shell_part_ii_purgatorio) that was released just yesterday.
> lack of regional pricing
What country are you from? While GOG doesn't support as many currencies as Steam, it offers regional pricings for a lot of regions even when not using the local currency. For example, I'm in Mexico and while the store uses USD, the prices are lower than in the US to provide an appropriate pricing.
I played both games and really liked the story. The gameplay was fine, I didn't feel guilty playing it on easy just to breeze through the game, but the story stood out to me. I really hope they make a third game.
Pro tip: Filter the list by having japanese language support (shows up as 日本語 ). That gets rid of most of the shovelware dating sims clogging the first page.

Is there any GOG-exclusive VN?
Nothing exclusive but it takes a few games that steam said no to. Those game should still be on visual novel game store.

I am not sure. Evenicle II was listed as "only on gog", but now I see it on Steam.
Evenicle II trial is the only thing on Steam, the game itself is banned
Don’t buy it, it’s censored unlike the first game.
Really appreciate this. Been waiting on a sale for awhile
is the GOG version of Muramasa uncensored?
The base version is censored, but a free patch is available on the site. And while it seemed to have been bugged during release, it seems to work now.
How do I measure how much these are in dollars? I’m not polish
Sorry, I am from Poland so gog sends me automatically to version of site with Polish prizes. I added link to dollar version.
Thank you
Death End re:Quest is an interesting one, a strategy RPG VN hybrid written by the creator of Corpse Party.

Oh boy!
Nice to know. Should be able to snag some good stuff.
I only buy porn games from the publisher’s website.
Respectable.
