Why is this image turning me on?
>>
because they're games that you play on your video monitor
>>
no gameplay

The less game play, the better
Games are gold if they have almost no user input

Is there much else to call them? Unless we just identify Visual Novels as an independent form of entertainment, you can't generalize it as very many things.

>>330285990
Because the gameplay is played on your dick

fucking retard

If you read a choose your own adventure book on a Kindle are you playing a videogame?

Some are and some aren't.

A "game" is a challenge you can either win or lose. A novel is a passive experience you sit back and enjoy.

Some visual novels include challenges and game-over conditions. Those visual novels are also games.

Some visual novels are just books you click on with character portraits that pop up during dialogue. Those aren't games, they're strictly narrative only.
