A visual novel is a type of game in which you make decisions along the way and of course, you see what the scenes look like unlike a regular novel in the west. A lot of visual novels are naughty in nature, though some have an all-ages version. Some of the most popular visual novels include "Kanon", "Air", "Da Capo", "Wind", "To Heart", "Kimi ga Nozomu Eien", and "Gyakuten Saiban", the last one being of the few novels that are not naughty.
