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

Items you collect can be constructed from other items or by collecting resources in game. Typically you'll use various recipes combined with the ingredients you find to make new items.

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