You like Visual Novels, Anime and Manga right? Good, as GOG just added 10 that support Linux to their store.
Here's what they've added today, which are all discounted too:
- Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.1 Onikakushi
- Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.2 Watanagashi
- Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.3 Tatarigoroshi
- Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.4 Himatsubushi
- Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch. 5 Meakashi
- Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius (free game)
- Sunrider Academy
- Sunrider: Liberation Day - Captain's Edition
- fault - milestone one
- fault - milestone two side:above
Seems like GOG are really trying to position themselves as the anti-Steam, given how this has happened so recently after Valve started sending messages to developers about their games being removed.
Really good to see GOG expand some more, especially nice to see them have Linux builds ready right away.

Higurashi is a classic, it made enough sucess to become an anime (and one of my favorites)
i dont know if any of those games have ecchi, but if valve keeps their policy on censorship, i highly recomend to purchase those games on gog

Regarding Steam and anime, HuniePop dev twitted this 3 days ago: https://twitter.com/HuniePotDev/status/997979877977436160 Let's wait a bit longer to see how the whole thing ends.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the first Sunrider game open source code and CC-something assets?

Finally! There was some demand for VNs for long time, but GOG was kinda uncomfortable with this stuff. I hope they will see results of this experiment positive, so we will have good place to get VNs without bothering with steam

Never thought I would see these on GOG. I'm down to spend some money next pay cheque to support it. I had been holding out buying them on Steam hoping for a Itch.io release but any DRM free options is good for me.

Connect would be nice for these - I have both Fault games on Steam.

So , i'm not a VN gamer guy but i tried that free one ( Sunrider ) to see how it is sexual by Valve means.
So far , there is 0 sexual drawings etc. What was the deal then?

Just to be clear, the patches are also free. I personally really quite like Sunrider; the battle tactics are surprisingly interesting (considering I really don't think the engine is meant for that kind of thing). It's the kind of game where you can see what seems to you the obvious way to do things and then find on internet chatter that other people are successfully doing it quite differently.So , i'm not a VN gamer guy but i tried that free one ( Sunrider ) to see how it is sexual by Valve means.The free version probably doesn't have anything. the other 2 have 18+ patches you can download from the official site.

No , i think i found it but didn't try it.

So games like these not contain these on their market forms by default and this adult content is opt-in?
Well , it is just seemed like modding to me.

I have a question, it may be a stupid one, but it's one I can't figure out: why do visual novels count as games?

In the same sense as DLC being little more than official mods.

I suppose it's a computer variant of game books. You can make some choices which change the story.

Well, some don't let you make any choices, or meaningful ones. And others have more gameplay elements than just dialog options. It's kind of a fluid game genre.I have a question, it may be a stupid one, but it's one I can't figure out: why do visual novels count as games?

Great... now GOG is going to become polluted with non-game "games".

The first two Sunrider titles qualify as games.

I would be much more excited about an actual Linux anime GAME. Tired of the many visual novels.

I would be much more excited about an actual Linux anime GAME. Tired of the many visual novels.As has been mentioned, the Sunrider ones ("Mask of Arcadius" and "Liberation Day" ) are games. There is a sort of visual-novel-like thing happening that strings stuff together, but most of your time is in quite difficult turn-based space battles, and you control a squadron of ships which you get to upgrade in quite varied ways.

Well, i kind of understand why there is no Connect right now - GOG wants to benchmark public demand for such games. With Connect enabled there will be huuuge transfers on gog, but actual sales? Yet, i dont think connect will be impossible in future.
