twine games have been pretty established for years now. art or visuals aren't necessary to make a game (look at the 80s text-parser adventure games). combine that and the fact that theres a whole subset of visual novels that have no real input by the player (Umineko and Higurashi being two extremely popular examples in the medium), and it's... kinda whatever.
