What if they were called "interactive story driven games"?
The market finds simple denominations to help consumers navigate the offering, but these are not always accurate or very descriptive.
Focusing on the content as opposed to the label, why do you not think that these are games?

Certainly a VN can have interactivity, although that is usually limited so I would put them at the outer edge of games. If it has no interactivity, then I wouldn't count them as a game though. A picture book is not a game.
- dudul 2y agoWhat about a picture book where the reader is supposed to find things on the page? Interactivity is just the ability to respond to a user's input. Even VNs with very limited branching do that.
