With many of us currently spending more time in our homes, it’s easy to get lost in your own thoughts about the world around us. Thankfully, games can help with that, easing our stress, all while offering bigger-than-life stories full of adventure and intrigue.
Japanese-inspired visual novels and RPGs are known for their engaging, unique stories, so we thought it would be a great time to highlight some of the many options available on GOG.COM.
As a bonus, all of the games found on this list are part of our jRPG and visual novel weekend sale. If any of these titles pique your interest, make sure to take advantage of this awesome sale!
Celestian Tales: Old North
We start our list with Celestian Tales: Old North, a turn-based RPG that uses a unique hand-drawn art style to bring the world to life. With six different nobles to play as, the story is grand and isn’t afraid to dip in the moral grey areas of human existence and decisions.

Grandia II Anniversary Edition is a Japanese RPG where you take the role of a hardened mercenary in an upgraded version of a game that was originally released in 2000 for the Dreamcast.
