User reviews

Great all

Love it! It’s so cool that I can play my favorite visual novel on my phone now. And the developer is super nice by answering my questions in email. Highly recommended.

My old CD which used an NScriper is working flawless

The web importer was useful to me because I had no way of transferring the files to my phone. I wish there was an easier way to transfer over USB cable through iTunes orFile Explorer.

Small bug

When I click the skip button, sometimes it does not skip the game even though the button is highlighted

Couldn't get it to work

I tried to install narcissu 2nd and 10th anniversary but neither of them worked theyre just stuck in a black screen. At least a tutorial or something would be nice.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback! Narcissu 2nd Anniversary is as PONScripter game, and 10th Anniversary is a Majiro game, neither of which the engine advertises to support. PONS support is coming in the next update along with compatibility notices :)

I can finally play VNs on my phone

Love the concept of this app. It would be nice to be able to sync saves from my computer to my phone if this could be possible in a future update.
