Visual novel
interactive fiction game / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A visual novel is a type of video game.[1][2] They use mostly static (non-moving) graphics, and usually have anime/manga-styled art. Sometimes they contain video footage. Almost all visual novels are produced in Japan, very few of these are ever sold in the Western market. Examples of popular visual novels are Kanon, Clannad, and Air.
