Role-playing games let you assume the role of a protagonist, customizing their abilities, equipment, and appearances. Through exploration, dialogue, and strategic combat, players navigate worlds, uncover lore, complete missions, and level up their characters.

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

Inspired by (or directly containing elements of) storytelling and visual design that are otherwise most commonly seen in Japanese animation.

Either prominently containing or entirely themed around romance, this genre is typically focused on interpersonal romantic relationships between characters and the player.
