Visual Novel Bestsellers

The visual novel is an interactive video game, featuring almost exclusively static graphics and often using anime-style art. Video footage may also be featured in a visual novel but it’s very rare. As the name suggests, this genre resembles a mixed-media novel. Most visual novels are developed for video game consoles but the best games of that genre have occasionally been ported to other systems - even to PC. The main thing that distinguishes visual novels from other videogame types is their minimal gameplay. The majority of player interaction is limited to clicking to keep the text and graphics moving. By doing so, players are making narrative choices. Even though the market for visual novels outside of East Asia is quite small, there is a large group of hardcore anime fans in the Western world. Because of that visual novels are deceptively popular. Are you a visual novel fan? On Games Republic you will find only the best titles of that genre!
