A style of game that mainly consists of text (both dialogues and narrative) over a background image. Many games have the player make [[choice]]s that affect the outcome of the story.

This tag is for both real and [[fake screenshot]]s of visual novels.

For images featuring only the background image with no [[dialogue box]], use [[game cg]] instead.
