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.

Usually containing sexual themes, content or more. Not safe for work most of the time.

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