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.

Near infinitely replayable games that usually feature, random generation, perma-death, and brutal difficulty. 

Games where the primary goal is keeping the player character alive under harsh circumstances such as dwindling resources or a hostile environment.
