How in the WORLD did visual novels get clumped with video games instead of audio books?!?
If I only knew when i was 5 years old listening to a cassette tape of Baby Beluga with a picture book from the public library that I i was actually starting my lifelong passion of shooting things in the face!
I mean visual novels are more graphic novel than audio book, especially since most of them don't have voice acting.
But they're still video games just as much as text-based-adventure games. You control the actions happening in the story and can interact with it, some having gaming elements like minigames or an inventory system. I don't see why they wouldn't be called games.
