Cover for the original 2004 release of Fate/stay night

This is a list of visual novels I have played, all of them in Japanese except where mentioned.

Text with voice acting is great for learning the language, and back in the day without superb OCR software, text hookers were very handy for extracting text and copy-pasting into dictionaries.

• Cross Channel: I tried playing this once, but realized immediately in the introduction my Japanese isn’t at its sharpest. So I thought to google some translations and I found site of the translator who described the game as “extremely difficult in any language”, and I kind of lost faith there.
• さくら、もゆ。-as the Night’s, Reincarnation-: https://vndb.org/v22313
• Yosuga no Sora

Someone probably played all these, and also the bad ones not listed
