It's time to play that VN together, /qa/! It was decided that the choice would be Noctural Illusion!
Here's a brief summary with a link to the game you can play in-browser: https://tss.asenheim.org/nocturnal-illusion.html
If you want to download and play it on its own you can do so here: https://mega.nz/#!Rp0TSYKL!coe7t9rwBIzyNIaESG23d1OEA3bzpiNN-zNLvBB-eMg
If you don't trust me here's the same file on that eroge site inside this pastebin: https://pastebin.com/5iX5xENv
There is a "renewal" version where some things were added, but it seems screwy since the translation project was never completed for it and I don't like the newer, non-dithered graphics anyway.
Let's go, /qa/!
REMINDER: THIS CONTAINS SEX AND NUDITY
Back from a long hiatus

I kept procrastinating... sorry.
Wasn't the best day to do this.
>>1489778
I think this is when /qa/ needs threads like this the most.
>>1489784
I agree.
Old VNs could be pretty minimalistic.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that if you play in-browser you can hold down control and scroll up/down with mousewheel (or +/- on numpad) to adjust the resolution of the window, which in effect makes it larger or smaller.
Are you guys playing yet?
Soon.
The thread OP needs a bit of formatting, but with a bit of effort into this it should be fine.

Also Previous Thread so people who forgot can get an idea of how it went back in April:

Why are maids so cute?

It went terribly and even the spam bot gave up on it.

What a joke, just stop for everyones sake.
>inb4 smarmy response
Stop.
Exactly how large is the VN to download? I am trying to run the installer on an SSD with 9GB left bet keep being told there is not enough space.
Any of you who used to consume VNs in the mid-late 90s? I have a few questions.
1-How could a person get their hands on VNs (and eroges) at the time?
2-Were there non-lewd pieces, just story oriented like S;G?
3- If I was visibly underage in, say, the mid-late 1990s, would how could you get your hands on VNs/eroges etc?
No roleplaying answers please, I might have to make a thread asking these stupid questions somewhere else if I don't get satisfactory answers !!
>>1493944
I can't help you there, but try /jp/'s VN thread and the occasional /vr/ thread like >>>/vr/4156292
>>1493944
The only things I played were what was translated and available online, which was an extremely small number of things. I can't really answer the question unfortunately.
>>1489647
Landlady has noice teats but her granny underwear turned me off. Vampire grill was hottest for me.
How do most oldschool VN's do overworlds?
The only dating sims I really played were the newgrounds ones.

Shit taste amuricunt.
You guys are reading through it, right? It's a classic.
Ya, playing through it.
dang didn't know this started. I was away for a while. Is anybody else still playing?
>>1505252
Ya, slowly working through it.
The introduction stages are bit of a drag, but I'm out of that now.
Is everyone dead?
>>1509059
I'm still here. Just playing the game.
>>1509189
I mean in regards to the game.
I feel like it's purgatory or something.
>>1509192
Not sure. it does seem like it though. it would make sense if kusayama died from alcohol poisoning, maya died from a stomach ulcer, misao got lost in the woods looking for the mansion, etc.
>ye beb, you can come sleep w/ me
Anon here reporting that this thread is being stealth bumped and is therefor shit.
Alrighty, I'll try and finish the game in one sitting since I accidentally deleted my progress....
I really enjoyed this game. I just wish the thread was more active. Anyways, what was your guys favorite endings? My favorite girl was Misao, but my favorite ending was Miwako.
>>1505252
Yep. Take your time.
You should consider listening to a few of the .mid files of the OST

Yep, a bump bot is part of this thread.
It's a genuinely slow thread. You can't appreciate it unless you do it at your own pace rather than 4chan's pace.
>>1516464
Oh look, its' bot-3rl.
>>1516471
You're just as bad, frog spammer; you don't even bother to change your cancer image.
>>1516537
Tel you what, I'll go away just as soon as all the bots are shut down.
This thread was stealth bumped again.
>>1518158
I see a bot doing a stealth bump.
Alright, time to do this
Renewal has some nice art here and there
Almost a full day has passed without a single post, but this is on page 2.
I think it's more than safe to say that there has been stealth bumping in this thread. I'm just letting you all know.
>>1522468
Hi bump bot.
You've been busy. It's hard to keep up, but I think I'm doing a good job.
>>1522193

>>1522471
