I've decided I wanna start recommending stuff here every so often! And I'll start with throwing out one for Spare Parts, a VN series by an acquaintance I feel is kinda underappreciated for how much hard work obviously goes into it. I originally played the first part back when I was going through my thankfully-pretty-brief treatment for liver cancer back in 2021, and it did a lot to raise my spirits at the time.
I feel like I'm bad at describing other people's work in a way that captures what makes it special gracefully, but in short, it's a episodic story about a bunch of robots abandoned in a basement that starts off as mostly slice-of-life comedy, but has mystery and drama undertones that eventually grow to become the focus of the plot. The whole thing has a very carefully-cultivated sentimental atmosphere that makes the story feel more than just the sum of its parts, and the character work is some of the strongest I've seen in the medium - I don't think there's a single member of the cast I ended up not being intrigued by. The wordcount is also quite hefty for a western VN, which often feel overly-streamlined to me, and the attention to detail is kind of incredible with that in mind.
It's not really got a lot in common with TFTBN in terms of tone or genre staples, buuuuuut if you like somewhat Umineko-inspired works that try to break down certain topics in novel ways by approaching them with a roundabout sci-fi premise and/or are a weird and specific type of yuri pervert with broader horizons than just whatever the fuck I'm doing, then you will probably get something out of it!

13. Spare Parts (Episode 1)
I knew basically absolutely nothing going into this game. Not the art style, not the general premise, nothing except for just two lines my friend kept repeating. "Trans robot brain problems" and "homoerotic disassembly scene". My expectations could've been literally anything, but I settled on something dark, gritty, and surprisingly relatable. Something akin to Signalis, but a visual novel, and more mundane.
That's not at all what it was, it's like a silly 4-koma turned into a visual novel. And it's SO funny. Every character has their own little stats screen with shit like "cool," "nice," "shy," or "dumb." Dumb is my favorite. The main character, Lucy, her dumb stat is maxed out. At first I had a few questions about the plot and how the hell she didn't figure out they were robots—but then I realized—she's dumb. Literally issues I have with her not piecing things together can literally all be explained by how stupid she is.
Did I mention how funny this game was?

GOSH I can't help but become obsessed with a piece of art when it features a character that says/believes something that I just KNOW is absolutely wrongheaded and yet they articulate it in an incredibly poetic fashion.
