As I mentioned above, to me interactivity is the core element. 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 3y 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.
- constantcrying 3y agoAt the same time you can imagine a visual novel without any choices. I don't see that being a game, it is a novel with pictures presented in a digital format. Not a game.
