On Saturn, if it’s one genre that has been overlooked the most in terms of Western releases, it’s definitely visual novels.
But is there really anyone to blame for them not coming over to the west?
One developer is changing that however! Gabriel Sansigolo has been hard at work developing NEW visual novel games for the Saturn, starting with his first release, The Lighthouse of São Bento do Oeste
“Detective Renne Bras travels to the small town of São Bento do Oeste to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a couple at the city’s lighthouse.”
The game was made for a game jam, with the themes of “Mystery” and “Break-ups”.

I’ve tried out São Bento using my Satiator, it’s pretty cool. I didn’t know Gabriel was working on more VNs for Saturn. Best of luck to him!
Thanks for sharing, will give Sao Bento a shot.
