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.

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.

Sweet Season is a visual novel released for the Playstation 2 & Dreamcast consoles. In the game Yoshinori Asamiya is a high school freshman who is in the shogi club. One day, he meets a girl while she was walking her dog. She's from a different school, but she's on the shogi club as well... That girl was Ayumi Jinguuji, and Yoshinori can't help but be intrigued about her. Even if at first it was difficult to be her friend, Ayumi seems to have taken a liking to him.

Love can be fun, but also painful at times.
