A visual novel(ビジュアルノベル,bijuaru noberu) is an interactive game genre, which originated in Japan,[1][2] featuring text-based story with narrative style of literature and interactivity aided by static or sprite-based visuals, most often using anime-style art or occasionally live-action stills (and sometimes video footage).[3] As the name might suggest, they resemble mixed-media novels.
