Important Importables: Stories that should become visual novels

As evidenced by games like Lux-Pain, Phoenix Wright and Heileen, the visual novel and adventure game genre is slowly beginning to establish a presence in the conscious of gamers. Perhaps this could mean a sudden interest in the genre, to the point where it could become a recognizable force.

In Japan, visual novels are already a popular and established genre. It’s important to note that games like Lux-Pain and Phoenix Wright are considered adventure games with visual novel elements there, while a game like Heileen would be considered a true visual novel. Remember the Choose Your Own Adventure novels for kids, where you’d be able to influence the story depending on what choices you’d make? Visual novels work the same way.

Today, Important Importables is going to go through a few already established stories and series which would make fantastic visual novels. Feel free to make your own suggestions in the comments as well!
