Depends on who you ask, as they're kind of a midway between a VN and a point-and-click adventure.
I'd consider them VNs, VNDB says they aren't, but I'm pretty sure most people would be fine discussing those on VN-focused forums or communities.
Are you enjoyjng them? I'm a big fan of the series overall, with the third game being my favorite.
As for how it compares to "traditional" VNs: PW games have you interact way more often. You don't get sections of 1h+ of just reading text uninterrupted in PW games, and that's fairly common in other games of this genre.
Ah. Well, at least I don't mind these kind of "VN", would try one of the traditional VN after that and see how that goes.
And yes, I am loving it. The story is interesting. Court-room parts are really fun. Enjoying the whole game.
If you're liking the PW series you'll probably also enjoy the Danganronpa games. Much darker stories despite the colorful visuals, but they're another VN/Adventure hybrid with a mystery plot.
In that line of hybrids there's also 13 Sentinels which has an amazing story and mixes adventure-style exploration with tower defense battles.
Yeah, both are already on my wishlist. Thinking about starting Danganronpa after finishing Phoenix Wright.
As for 13 Sentinels, I have played Vanillaware games before like their games, so have it on my radar since it was announced, just haven't gotten around to playing it yet.
Thanks for the recommendations!
