Here's an informal survey for you all: what are some of your favorite indie visual novels?
Please list as many as you'd like in the comments/shares!
I have a feeling there are some visual novel fans and experts on here.

in reply to @IndieGamesOfCohost's post:
Depends on what counts as indie (I know, I know)
House in Fata Morgana was made by a small team and is one of the greatest VNs man or god has ever crafted, though it had a publisher.
If we're talking like INDIE Indie then We Know the Devil, Corpse Factory, and Opus: Echo of Starsong should all be on the list.
Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk and We Know the Devil immediately come to mind
we know the devil, umineko, and analogue: a hate story!
...also, i consider a couple of things "visual novels" that maybe aren't depending on how you define them haha. killing time at lightspeed & secret little haven & 80 days & long live the queen
Ladykiller in a Bind, Heaven Will Be Mine, Scar of the Doll (a late 90s doujin release from the guy who would later write Folklore for the PS3), Loren the Amazon Princess. I have some risque ones but I figure you aren't looking for those.
I don't play too many but I really like Hanako Games' VNs. They are always well written and mechanically interesting.
VA-11 Hall-A http://waifubartending.com/ is one of my favourite games! (... I think it's indie)
Secret Little Haven https://ristar.itch.io/secret-little-haven is a really interesting VN that feels like it might appeal to the sensibilities of many current cohost users =P (it appealed to me anyways). iIrc it was also very short, like just a couple hours or so!
Hi! I'm thinking of doing a round-up of hidden gems recommended by Cohost users, with little blurbs written by the people who enjoyed them. If you're interested, could you give me like a 2-3 sentence pitch on what Secret Little Haven is, for those who haven't heard of it? I can credit you with link to your page!
You can either reply here, or send me an Ask, or email kylelabriola@gmail.com
ooh, i'd love to spread the word about that game! i sent you an email
Oooo. I don't play a ton but here's some ones I liked:
- A Year of Springs
- Analogue a Hate Story (one of my favorite games ever)
- VA-11 Hall-A
Excited to hear what other people have to say!
want to share not a specific visual novel but a visual novel site, novelgame.jp! games are pretty much only in japanese but there are so many good games here playable in browser.
one i particularly like is hakoniwa no miko: https://novelgame.jp/games/show/5223
Both are still being worked on but Misericorde and Coquette Dragoon are great ones and I'm looking forward to more from each of them.
