For example, in a dating simulator-themed visual novel, the player is prompted to pick different characters to date which, in turn, leads to a different ending. Most visual novels have multiple storylines and more than one ending the mechanic in these cases typically consists of intermittent multiple-choice decision points, where the player selects a direction in which to take the game. This characteristic makes playing visual novels similar to reading a book. Another main characteristic of visual novels is their strong emphasis on the prose, as the narration in visual novels is delivered through text. Typically the majority of player interaction is limited to clicking to keep the text, graphics and sound moving as if they were turning a page (many recent games offer "play" or "fast-forward" toggles that make this unnecessary), while making narrative choices along the way. Visual novels are distinguished from other game types by their generally minimal gameplay. The market for visual novels outside of East Asia is small, though a number of anime based on visual novels are popular among anime fans in the Western world examples include Clannad, Steins Gate, and Fate/stay night. The more famous visual novels are also often adapted into light novels, manga or anime and are sometimes succeeded or complimented by actual video games, such as RPGs or action games.

Visual novels are rarely produced exclusively for dedicated video game consoles, but the more popular games have occasionally been ported from PC (or a hardware equivalent) to systems such as the Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, PlayStation Portable, or Xbox 360. This distinction is normally lost outside Japan, as both visual novels and adventure games are commonly referred to as "visual novels" by international fans.
In Japanese, a distinction is often made between visual novels (NVL, from "novel"), which consist primarily of narration and have very few interactive elements, and adventure games (AVG or ADV, from "adventure"), which incorporate problem-solving and other types of gameplay. Visual novels originated in and are especially prevalent in Japan, where they made up nearly 70% of the PC game titles released in 2006. The format is more rarely referred to as novel game, a retranscription of the wasei-eigo term noberu gēmu ( ノベルゲーム), which is more often used in Japanese. They combine a textual narrative with static or animated illustrations and a varying degree of interactivity.
Visual novels are often associated with and used in video games, but are not always labeled as such themselves.
