A quality aesthetic:
That brief stint of Visual-Novels-with-a-gimmick that actually got decently popular among western audiences, exclusive to the Nintendo DS.
Ace Attorney
Professor Layton
Ghost Trick
9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors
Hotel Dusk
Trauma Center
I’m sure it’s something to do with the intricacies of the DS’s limitations but like damn, that’s a solid ass lineup of Visual Novels that actually did decently among a wider, casual, western audience.
