Games which seek to lead the player on a journey through an uncertain and challenging world.

Visual novels are interactive stories. They focus mainly on character development and plot rather than action and gameplay mechanics.

Set in a fictional universe, often (but not always) with fantastic or supernatural elements, alternate worlds, magic and monsters.

Utilized combat systems where characters or teams take turns making their next move. Turns often have no time limit, allowing for a greater opportunity to think about strategy. The opposite of real-time combat.
