Visual novels are interactive stories. They focus mainly on character development and plot rather than action and gameplay mechanics.

Uses two-dimensional "sprites", 2D images created and used on a flat plane, as opposed to the three-dimensional models or environments found in 3D games.

Flat-shaded design does not rely on textures. The faces of solids and shapes are generally a single color, or  subtle gradient. See also low-poly .
