Subsurface Circular may not visually fit the standard visual novel style, but make no mistake it is one. The entirety of the game takes place on a subway system, where sentient robots travel to their daily job.

The text-based game is a detective experience at its core, tasking you with talking to different robots and solving their problems or cases. Most of the time you’ll be following multiple dialogue trees and making choices, but at times you’ll also need to solve puzzles.

As you help robots you’ll learn more information that can lead to helping out other robots, and there’s a fascinating mystery at the game’s core that gets pieced together as you go.

Although Subsurface Circular plays out from a third-person perspective, it still follows many of the ideas and systems of visual novels, and it’s one of the best out there. If you can’t get enough, there’s also a second separate experience called Quarantine Circular.
