visual novel

A visual novel is an interactive digital story that combines text, images, and sound to immerse the player in a narrative experience. Similar to choose-your-own-adventure books, players read through the story and make decisions at key points, which influence the direction and outcome of the plot. They often include character dialogues, background visuals, and music to enhance storytelling. Visual novels are popular in gaming and entertainment for their emphasis on story and character development, allowing players to explore different storylines and endings based on their choices while engaging with the narrative in a visually and interactively rich environment.
