I'm glad that I stumbled onto this game. I certainly hope that with all the plot elements that have been laid down, the finale doesn't make me think of the series, Lost
I need recommendations like this until ep. 6 comes out. I've played most of the games like Eternum and such so if anyone has any hidden gems please share!
1. Fates Collide - KatanaVN, FREE (Made a collab with Eternum, haven't played this one yet so I don't have an accurate description) 2. Once in a Lifetime - Caribdis, FREE (Same dev of Eternum, also set in the same universe) 3. Leap of Faith - DriftyGames, PAID (Scenes are not as glorious as the ones above but the story is more impactful, focuses on drama instead of supernatural/mystery) 4. Agent17 - HEXATAIL, FREE w/ extra paid content (MC picked up a phone that a secret agent calls from time to time, uses it to do "things", has multiple routes and avoidable NTR content, choices don't matter that much but the game has a prompt if the choice you're going to make has a big impact on the story) 5. Lucky Paradox - Stawer (Only played this for a bit but I think this one's also a good one, models also look great) 6. Goodbye Eternity - RNGeusEX, PAID w/ free demo (great artstyle, good storyline, some commenters in the game's itch page provide other players with tips and guides regarding some of the gameplay)
Others:
1. Zombie's Retreat - Siren, Part 1 PAID Part 2 Free (RPG maker game, survival type, both are set in the same universe, other games by the dev are also great) 2. Daily Lives of My Countryside - Milda Sento, FREE (Harvest Moon meets Summertime Saga, RPG Maker, built-in game guide and cheats, artstyle and animations are great) 3. Con-Quest - Cuddle Pit Games, FREE (Pokemon-like battle system, basically cosplayers in a stadium who got cursed by some kind of spell so expect to see familiar faces, the story's not that deep but I was there to fap) 4. Wasteland Lewdness - IcyViridian, FREE (Text-based adventure game, has multiple paths and story routes to follow right from the get-go, dev updates regularly every month or so)
Here you go, fam. Not sure what's your preferred cup of tea so I just put a little bit of everything.
Most of these aren't exactly hidden, but they're also mostly not on Itch, so maybe they'll count?
Summertime Saga - Hand-drawn sandbox. Decent story, fun characters, appealing art style. They had to do a full rebuild like Ripples did, and there's...debate as to if the rebuild will ever be finished, but what's there is still a full story and bigger than many other games out there.
Being a Dik - 3D visual novel like Ripples, with short moments of exploration. Emphasis on writing and humor. Probably the #1 AVN of the last few years, it just tells a really good story. The characters have depth and their own voices - I don't mean voice acting, but if you just saw a quote, you'd know exactly who said it. Nine (long) chapters are out, with another likely coming in September. It will engage most of your emotions. Highly recommended.
Artemis - A newer entry. Extremely polished, with great music, models, and environments. Same style of AVN as BaD, but with a twenty-minutes-into-the-future science fiction storyline, which might appeal to you more. Slick writing. The characters aren't as well realized as BaD, but it's early yet.
what is the trigger event for the scene after the photo shoot where Shelby and Dani are in the car talking and you come talk to them. i had it the first playthrough and played through a second time and didn't. the only thing i can think of that i did differently was I chose ignore her in the phone store instead of telling her off..... I want my coffee.....
Hey, Great work! Do you do commissions? I'm looking for a simple template I can use to make my own visual novel. I have the photos and videos but can't figure out the interface to put it all together.
I don't do commissions, well I'll do art commissions through Patreon but if you want to put it all together, use Renpy. You can find tutorials all over the internet or Youtube.
Yeah I've been trying to figure it out. I would rather spend my time animating and doing the art than learning Renpy. Ok, just thought I would ask if you were interested in doing a basic template for me. Thanks anyway.
Can i just go back intime and settle down with Scarlett? I would like to keep her as mine, because she is frigging awesome. He attitude, her behavior, and that long red hair, i just want her all to myself
Their seems to be a bug for amdroid causing the game to close. It has me so intrigued that i save the game every 30 sec just so i can continue close to where it drops
I have galaxy s22. I don't think you would call that a low end phone. I have plenty of other VN and games I play on it that work just fine. After the games closes down I have a pop up that says the game has a bug and I should wait for a patch to fix it. That is why I brought it to your attention.
I dunno, I don't have any problem with the game, I played it on my Galaxy tab it only has 2 gb ram jus a bit laggy..Maybe it's your game, where did you download it?, I always downloaded mine on another website not here.
Ripples is easily the best visual novel out there! The story is compelling, the dialogue flows naturally (without excess chit-chat), the characters have charm by the bucket-load and the artwork is superb.
Made an account just to leave this comment, this is inarguably the best aVN I have ever played, the quality is insane through and through. The animations are top notch, the story is compelling and interesting, the girls feel like actual characters. The end of Ch.5 left me excited for more! I am really enjoying this a lot and will subscribe to the Patreon.
I have got so many theories but I am absolutely loving this story! And all the girls are just perfect! I dont have a single complaint. I hope we finally get some more Jessica love though, I hope she doesn't stay as a side character!
Easily one of the coolest sci-fi stories I've experienced in a while. There must be a hidden cabal of really talented titty fiend game Devs out there because I know I just saw characters from OIAL in Ripples between that and the talented writing (I said what I said) there's no way these cats don't know each other. Id kill to see what kind of Avengers like group project they would all do.
That just means it can’t be installed on the itch app because it wasn’t uploaded with the appropriate tools, some devs opt for this if they prefer other host sites.
To play you’ll have to open the site in a browser, use the download buttons to download the zip folder, extract it then run either the exe or the .sh file, exe if you run windows, .sh for linux. not sure about mac, same download but you’ll have to figure out which file to run on your own as i’ve never owned one.
I made an account just to say that this game has been great, I just restarted today because the song that plays when you meet Skylar stunned me with the beat, so I had to go back and listen to the rest of the soundtrack. Whoever did the soundtrack has done amazing. I wish I could find the songs or files for the soundtrack. Please if anybody does read this and knows how to find the audio files please let me know
Hi I'm a new player,Just wanted to say that the whole game is fantastic and I hope to see more in the future and if u don't mind may I know when's the next update?

I'm glad that I stumbled onto this game. I certainly hope that with all the plot elements that have been laid down, the finale doesn't make me think of the series, Lost
Cuando es la próxima actualización
Ran into a glitch on episode 5 *spoiler* when Jessica walks out of the room talking about skylar. It brings up the error page.
This is a really well made game. Jestur, how many total episodes do you plan to make?
Random question, but what is the anime at the end of episode 2?
Spongebob Squarepants
:|
:(
any estimate about the date of release of the full game?
The answer to that is always: When it's ready.
My estimate: 2 or 3 years.
Any Updates Jestur?
when is 6 coming out I’m willing put In 100 dollars every week for a month if it hurry up
I'm assuming from his Patreon money isn't an issue. It just takes time to create a quality VN like this.
This guy is still kicking right? No signs of life on his patreon.
He replied to some comments here a few days ago so he aint dead
thank goodness. Rly jonesing for that next ep. 😅
he's active on the Discord

I'd also second the rec of Once in a Lifetime.
I recommend My Dorm, Not Going Back, Harem Hotel, Mythos. Shale Hill Secrets, Beyond Tomorrow, Sugar and Spice. and Strangers on Paper
it wont let me play on Android when I download it so can someone help me
A masterpiece
I put the nickname for Jenny, as Queen. Because she that what she is! I hope I get to see more of her 😭
Oh man I didn't know brad likes Azur Lane what a man of culture
DARCI BEST GIRL CHANGE MY MIND I WANT MOREEEEE
cant download on the app it say hosted on incompatible third party website
what is the trigger event for the scene after the photo shoot where Shelby and Dani are in the car talking and you come talk to them. i had it the first playthrough and played through a second time and didn't. the only thing i can think of that i did differently was I chose ignore her in the phone store instead of telling her off.....

You have to tell her off in the store.
Hey, Great work! Do you do commissions? I'm looking for a simple template I can use to make my own visual novel. I have the photos and videos but can't figure out the interface to put it all together.

I see you're a man of culture as well.
I do not know about culture, but intelligent, voluptuous redheads with a twisted sense of humor are a wonderful thing
The game keeps mentioning unlocking wallpapers, but I can't seem to find where to access them. Anyone know?
In-game phone wallpapers.
I can't seem to figure out how to access the in game phone. At least after a certain point.
If you have access it should be in the upper right.![]()
Their seems to be a bug for amdroid causing the game to close. It has me so intrigued that i save the game every 30 sec just so i can continue close to where it drops
I think you have a low end phone buy a new one
I have galaxy s22. I don't think you would call that a low end phone. I have plenty of other VN and games I play on it that work just fine. After the games closes down I have a pop up that says the game has a bug and I should wait for a patch to fix it. That is why I brought it to your attention.

what website do you download your games from? can you typed it?
I think it was mega
Ripples is easily the best visual novel out there! The story is compelling, the dialogue flows naturally (without excess chit-chat), the characters have charm by the bucket-load and the artwork is superb.
Kudos, Jestur.
Try Eternum
nahh fr
OK Daxxen. Sorry for the delayed response. but I just finished Eternum 0.5.
Excellent recommendation! Thank you! You have good taste.
Have far into development is episode 6?

This is great, but you should try Eternum
Playing episode 5. The photo shoot segment is HILARIOUS. LMAO Also, DAMN. I already liked Alyssa when she was just cute, but this new her is great.
Question before I download. Is there pregnancy or plans for such a thing? Sorry in advance if this was asked and answered before.
can someone send me the music that plays by this part of the game?
just finished ch5, man what a great adventure so far, can't wait to see more of dani and shelby, and find out what happened to darci's mom
Guys can someone tell me why there are a ads in the comment
I have got so many theories but I am absolutely loving this story! And all the girls are just perfect! I dont have a single complaint. I hope we finally get some more Jessica love though, I hope she doesn't stay as a side character!
100% agreed, when i started the game i expected to see a lot of her. i still like her a lot hopefully she gets some more time
Easily one of the coolest sci-fi stories I've experienced in a while. There must be a hidden cabal of really talented titty fiend game Devs out there because I know I just saw characters from OIAL in Ripples between that and the talented writing (I said what I said) there's no way these cats don't know each other. Id kill to see what kind of Avengers like group project they would all do.
I have seen others do things like that as well. I thnk they enjoy their inside jokes.
whens episode 6 im so intrigued by the plot im gonna cry if i dont finish this game T-T
I'm on the part with Riley and the take control option is unclickable, how do i get that?
You gotta say you don't like mint chocolate
I don't care about spoilers, will Skyler be okay and will we find Skyler?
Her return is the final frame of chapter 5
Thank goodness!
Whether or not she's ok remains to be seen. Girl looks haunted if you ask me.
One last question, do you know when the next update will be?
I wish I knew
how do i play this? on itch.io it says this is hosted on an incompatible third party website
That just means it can’t be installed on the itch app because it wasn’t uploaded with the appropriate tools, some devs opt for this if they prefer other host sites.
To play you’ll have to open the site in a browser, use the download buttons to download the zip folder, extract it then run either the exe or the .sh file, exe if you run windows, .sh for linux. not sure about mac, same download but you’ll have to figure out which file to run on your own as i’ve never owned one.
Yeah, it took me a while to figure it out, and got to play episode 5 last night.
I made an account just to say that this game has been great, I just restarted today because the song that plays when you meet Skylar stunned me with the beat, so I had to go back and listen to the rest of the soundtrack. Whoever did the soundtrack has done amazing. I wish I could find the songs or files for the soundtrack. Please if anybody does read this and knows how to find the audio files please let me know
You can find the names in the credits. Just scroll down.
this game is so good ! holy crap
Need more Darci in my life
I think everyone feels that way
only if that comes with more crystal :D
Hi I'm a new player,Just wanted to say that the whole game is fantastic and I hope to see more in the future and if u don't mind may I know when's the next update?
