Visual novels—we know them, and many of us certainly love them! For everyone else, though, the genre can feel a bit overwhelming or hard to approach. If you’re interested in getting started, keep an eye out for Dreamy Syrup, an upcoming romantic comedy visual novel that also stars a popular VTuber.

VTubers have grown into a huge part of online pop culture and fandom. Those animated, bobbing-headed personalities regularly attract massive followings as streamers, and some even build original characters around themselves. It’s a big leap from just a few years ago, when Kizuna AI first made waves across the internet.

For most of us, Dreamy Syrup might not be an obvious must-play. But for fans of the VTuber Amau Syrup, this could be exactly what you've been hoping for. Better yet, since it’s launching first on Switch and Steam, we already know English language support is confirmed!

Realistically, Dreamy Syrup probably won't become a massive hit. In my view, visual novels often get unfairly dismissed as otaku wish-fulfillment. I believe the genre has a lot more storytelling potential than it gets credit for, and there are plenty of excellent titles that prove it. That said, Dreamy Syrup is clearly designed for Amau Syrup’s fanbase. Since she streams exclusively in Japanese, it’s safe to say this is a niche game aimed at an already niche audience.

Still, if you're in the mood for something fresh, there are plenty of great new games to try. Take a look at our weekly roundup of the top five new mobile games—you might just discover your next favorite!
