RpyHub is a catalog of visual novels, Ren’Py games and RPG Maker titles for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. This guide shows how to use RpyHub to find games that fit your device and language, keep track of what you want to play, and get help when something doesn’t work.

Key Takeaways

• Browse by platform, language and genre to find games that run on your device and in your language.
• Surprise Me picks a random game when you can’t decide.
• Sign in to sync your wishlist, collections and XP.

Browse by language

The catalog lists 30 game languages. Pick yours to see only games you can read, for example English, Spanish, German, Russian or Simplified Chinese.

Browse by genre

Genres such as Visual Novel, Sandbox, Simulation, RPG and Early Access help you find the style you enjoy. New to the terms? Our visual novel glossary explains them.

The full catalog and A–Z

The complete catalog lists every game, and the A–Z list helps when you know a title. You can also sort by recently updated games to see what’s new.

Surprise Me

Can’t decide? Surprise Me opens a random game page. It’s a good way to discover something outside your usual genres.

Best Games of the Month

A curated page of the month’s highlights, handy when you want a recommendation rather than a search.

Reading a Game Page

A game page brings together what you need to decide:

• Description and screenshots to see the style and story.
• Version and last update, so you know whether the game is complete or still in development. See early access and episodic visual novels.
• Platforms and languages the game supports.
• Store reviews, where available, to see what other players think.
• System requirements.
• Official links to the developer’s pages, where you can support them.
• Comments and reviews from other players.

Saving and Organising Games

Sign in to keep your lists in sync across devices.

• Wishlist: save games you want to play later.
• Collections: build your own themed lists, such as “short stories”, “finished sandbox games” or “to play on Android”.
• Followers: follow other players and see their collections.
• XP and leaderboard: your profile shows your XP and where you rank on the leaderboard. See your profile page for how XP is earned.

Getting Help
