   @creamqueen Even mostly text-based visual novels often allow the player to affect the story in certain ways such as trying to date a particular girl or avoid a bad ending. You also have hybrid titles where other gameplay types are grafted onto the vn like Prism Ark with strategy battles or action-based giant robot fights in Demonbane. All of these approaches allow the player to have some agency in choosing their journey through the game. You might not think of vns as games, and that's fine, but they are regardless.

     @heavens_feel @creamqueen Some VNs may not be games but as a medium it more than qualifies as valid regardless. VNs offer the long form experience of a book with visual and aural aspects, which is unique!
     
     Some of the best VNs are kinetic. The mere act of clicking to further the dialogue constitutes an interactive effect since there is action on screen, due to the visual and aural layers. Something that's not the case with a book, and neither in video media that proceed completely autonomous. I'm a big fan of the VN medium.
