Games which have short playtimes and can usually be completed in one sitting.

Work centered on following a character through the ups and downs during a notable part of their life. There's often more of an emphasis on characterization, relationships, and a series of dramatic events than on strict adherence to conventional story structures and plotlines.

Focused on using its text, moreso than its visuals or audio, to tell the bulk of its story/plot. (Still can have great audio and visuals, though!)
