Menus and gameplay are in Japanese.

A visual novel is an interactive fiction game, featuring mostly static graphics, most often using anime-style art or occasionally live-action stills (and sometimes video footage). As the name might suggest, they resemble mixed-media novels or tableau vivant stage plays.

In Japanese terminology, a distinction is often made between visual novels proper (abbreviated NVL), which consist predominantly of narration and have very few interactive elements, and adventure games (abbreviated AVG or ADV), which may incorporate problem-solving and other types of gameplay. This distinction is normally lost outside Japan, where both NVLs and ADVs are commonly referred to as "visual novels" by international fans. Visual novels and ADVs are especially prevalent in Japan, where they made up nearly 70% of the PC game titles released in 2006.

Visual novels are distinguished from other game types by their extremely minimal gameplay. Typically the majority of player interaction is limited to clicking to keep the text, graphics and sound moving (most recent games offer 'play' or 'fast-forward' toggles that make even this unnecessary).

Most visual novels have multiple storylines and many endings; the gameplay 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 style of gameplay has been compared to the Choose Your Own Adventure books.

Inagawa Junji - Mayonaka no Taxi is a horror adventure game (sequel to Inagawa Junji - Kyoufu no Yashiki) that starts the japanese actor Inagawa Junji (predominant contemporary master storyteller of Japanese ghost tales).

In the game the player takes the role of a taxi driver that at the beginning of a night takes Inagawa Junji as the passenger of his taxi, but soon he will regret that decission since after leaving him all that night he will meet different passenger that will tell him different horror stories and depending of the choices that he make during that night his own life will be in danger.

The game features Inagawa Junji as the hoster of those tales, japanese voice acting and different ending depending of the player choices during the game.
