The Steam Visual Novel Fest is here, and it’s the perfect time to pick up a story-driven game (or three). There are plenty of classics, and heavily discounted recent titles to explore.

The Steam Visual Novel Fest is perfect to grab classics, like Clannad, or even newer titles like Digimon Survive.

The event will be running from August 7th to August 14th, a week, and ends at 10 AM PT time. There’s also plenty of free demos and discounts for upcoming games.

There are also (non-Visual Novel) story-driven games on heavy discounts as part of the event. For example, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series—it’s 66% off!

We recommend it if you’re a huge fan of cinematic, choice-driven titles, and love zombie media. Similarly, if you’ve played Zombie Exodus—you’ll love the TWD Telltale games.

Depending on what you’re into, we recommend a few other titles, too. Want an absolute classic, tearjerker of an anime-styled visual novel? Clannad is a must-play for anyone wanting to jump into the genre.

Steam Visual Novel Fest Titles we recommend:

If you’re into interactive fiction novels, we definitely recommend checking out the visual novel genre. This sale is also the perfect time to jump into some of the best visual novels the format has to offer.
