Visual novels are interactive stories. They focus mainly on character development and plot rather than action and gameplay mechanics.
Employing shapes, patterns, and colors to create non-representational art. Abstract games often focus on evoking emotions or exploring game mechanics rather than depicting realistic scenes or narratives. They may feature geometric designs, procedural generation, or unconventional gameplay elements that challenge traditional genre expectations.
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!)
