@Todd_A Unfortunately the Ace Attorney games donât have much voice acting outside of cutscenes as far as I know. Theyâre still great games though!
Hmm Iâm not as familiar with Steam since I primarily play Japanese games on my Vita. Itâs hard to find ones with both English and Japanese. Umineko has both and you can get voice acting to work if you install the third-party PS3 version patch but itâs not exactly an easy read. Most Japanese visual novels are PC-only and I have a Mac so I donât have access to a lot of stuff.
I havenât played Dramatical Murder but itâs too bad there isnât a Japanese-text Steam version out there. There can be mismatches like that sometimes based on licensing and ports. Typically, if you buy the Japanese version of a game, especially if itâs originally in Japanese, it will only have Japanese language options. English ports of Japanese games are typically English text translations with Japanese voice acting, although there are more options on Steam. If you want both Japanese and English text with Japanese voice acting, that does narrow it down.
Hmm, I mostly play historic fiction, otome games, and mystery novels so my slice of life knowledge is rather lacking. Itâs too bad you donât like samurai stuff because I would have otherwise recommended Hakuoki (which is both English and Japanese and has voice acting) but itâs about the Shinsengumi
Itâs a bit hard to think of anything that hits all of this criteria. Steins;Gate is another one that comes to mind but thatâs more a sci fi time travel thing.
Ah, I thought the link I shared had the âvoice actingâ tag on it but maybe I messed up somewhere. I canât speak for a lot of indie JP VNs since I donât have said PC to play them on so my experience with VNs comes from stuff that gets released on handheld consoles which is almost always voiced. As far as stuff on Steam goes, it probably depends on if itâs a port or not.
By âfullyâ voice acted do you mean including the narration? Or just that all lines of dialogue by non-protagonist characters is voiced?
