20 of the best visual novels you can play on Switch right now

destructoid.com:

Visual novels have found a bit of a home on the Nintendo Switch. The combination of portability and easy pick-up, put-down feel of the Switch goes really well with long, involved, engrossing visual novels. Ever since I got mine, I’ve read a good amount of VNs on it, whether in a hotel bed, on the couch, or on a plane.

This harmony makes visual novels a bit more approachable, and it helps that the genre seems to be drawing in more and more interest. With mainstays like Ace Attorney or surprise hits like Paranormasight, there’s a lot to find. But also a lot to sift through, especially if you’re new and looking for a specific kind of story to ease you in.

So, I decided to throw together a list with that in mind. These are 20 fantastic visual novels to try, whether you’re a newcomer to the genre, or just looking for something a little different. Of note: I’m trying to keep this list mostly to a traditional VN interpretation. (I brought up “what’s a visual novel” in Slack and it started a mild conflict.) So if you’re wondering where fantastic games like 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim are, there’s a decent chance I excluded them, in the interest of keeping this list narrow and focused. (I do wholeheartedly endorse 13 Sentinels though.)

With that in mind, let’s open up the Switch library and talk about some visual novels.

Why not start the list off with a heavy hitter? The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition brings the 2012 classic to the Nintendo Switch with both the main story and a bevy of extra content. After waking up in a strange, eerie mansion, you relive the lives of various people with the assistance of an unnamed maid. Events will intertwine across history, with lots of intrigue and suspense.
