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.

Focused on an interpersonal relationship or set of relationships between characters (and frequently, the player).
