Anime and the Visual Novel
Anime and the Visual Novel: Narrative Structure, Design and Play at the Crossroads of Animation and Computer Games | Dani Cavallaro
2 posts | 1 to read
This book describes the thematic and structural traits of a recent and popular development within the realm of anime: series adapted from visual novels. Visual novels are interactive fiction games in which players creatively control decisions and plot turning points. Endings alter according to the player's choices, providing a motivation to replay the game and opt for alternative decisions each time. Pictorial sumptuousness, plot depth and subtle characterization are vital aspects of the medium. Anime based on visual novels capitalizes on the parent games' attributes, yielding thought-provoking yarns and complex personalities.

My 11 year old told me he watched a walk through of this video game which genre is visual novel. New one to me. He said it was a psychological horror and it scared him so I looked into it. Needless to say this game is for 18 or older (they say 13 but it is up to you) The first 3 hours are very tame but then it ups the ante and becomes very dark. I had to have a talk with my child. Just thought I'd let the parents out in Litsy world know.
