Out of curiosity, what are the games that you do believe are best written?
Doesn't need to follow any ranking order nor any amount requirement, just throw your opinions here.

For me.

Summer's Gone.
A Wife and Mother

I have not played all the games on this site, of course, and that's it for me.

The majority of games i like got decent story but i woudnt call it good.
or are management game so what story there is most mostly background lore.

So both lab rats have good character, good story and good background lore.

Where Free Cities has good background lore but none existing characters.
With people losing all uniqueness the moment you enslave them.

When you use as example a game where, among many stupidities, the MC freak out because her son see her in a bikini, and the second after decide, by herself, to flash her boobs to the said son if he clean his room, I wonder what "good writing" mean for you.

Initially there was a good world building, slowly progression, day to day life with somewhat realistic issues, outcomes, but slowly corruption building.
Corruption is for the most part good and well done. (except it took ages for anything to happen, but still scenes and progression were good)


Sure there are some inconsistencies, even outrageous bad written and unrealistic scenes and paths...
But, I believe in fairness in judgement, and on that note, I take in account the overall size of the game, the amount of lines written and overall quality as a whole.
If I'd nitpick ANYTHING that I found bad, there would be a top 0 best written games, because perfection is impossible.

I just wanted to say that Desert Stalkers is among my top favorite games on this site.

Don't know what you consider well written, but I find writing style and characterisation important criteria.

Ladykiller in a Bind - great first-person narrator, the bickering with her twin brother is a high point, the dynamic dialogues underline the aspect of social manipulation

Sanguine Rose - nice take on fantasy psychological thriller and a great example how you can integrate lore into narration without losing the story in an exposition dump, really excellent "antagonist"

Vae Victis Khan - I just really like the writing style in this game, you see it in the dialogues and the narration, many characters get a surprising amount of depth in relatively little screen time

A Summer's End - Hong Kong 1986 - almost a KN, focuses on a small cast but the two main characters get a lot of work for that, don't know why they bothered with the non-canonical straight ending though

Good Girl Gone Bad - less a fan of this than I used to be, but still a solid and ambitious branching VN with an MC that can turn into a completely different person

Defending Lydia Collier - nice murder mystery with a good deal of branching, a strong point is the setting, pretty big cast with characters that are all pretty different

I won't repeat and write titles that already were mentioned, so here my list, that come to mind first.

I write them in descending order, starting with the best.
Pale carnations
Hero party must fall
The headmaster
Project possible
Princess Tower
Wicked rouge (In the past I would have rated it much higher, but now I have come to the conclusion that there is too much empty verbosity)
False myth

Japanese novels with gameplay.
Eushully games
Alice soft games (Especially Rance series)
Lilitales

Comedies
Goblin layer
Projekt passion
Witch trainer (My first porn game)
iNSight of you

P.S.
Funny thing is that my list has been a lot bigger, but during the time that many games have been in development, the direction or plot has changed a lot, so I've lost interest in many very promising games.
