Yes as LightishRedGummi said, this is a visual novel. In essence a visual novel is a storybook type game with graphics but it is written almost like a novel from one person's point of view who is 'you' in essence. You choose what options you want to take and a lot of the time later it changes how the game progresses. But it is not an action game where you will be able to change screen view and things.
