Visual novel

Genre
Visual novels are games which tell stories through generally static images and text, though they occasionally use short video clips as well. They are largely designed in an anime art style and interactivity in these games is generally limited to making decisions or selecting a certain choice which may effect the direction the narrative takes.

They are very popular in East Asia, but have rarely had success outside of that region.
