The choices you make in a VN can affect
the branching story paths and the outcome of the game. But do you
like seeing what's going on “under the hood?” Some games have a
meter or other form of tracking to let you know how you're doing with
your choices, such as a “relationship meter.” These metrics can
pull you out of the game a bit, though, reminding you that you're
playing a game and suspending your immersion. Other games don't have
active tracking of your progress, so you just have to hope you've
made good decisions and that you are accruing those good variables
behind the scenes. My preference is keeping things hidden so that you
can fully immerse yourself in the story as you interact with the
characters. But, to be fair, I'm a little less strict with earning a
good ending because players had no way to be certain of exactly how
they were doing. What do you think?
