Whats really fucked up is that walking simulators are literally just visual novels but with actual visual storytelling and explorable worlds and small amounts of actual gameplay

Journey, gone home, firewatch all just visual novels but with higher production value

However people dont call them visual novels they instead derogatorily call them walking simulators

What this shows us is that in the average gamer’s mind these games are inferior to more standard gaming experiences

Meanwhile visual novels are even lower in the bideo game hierarchy but the main difference is that the standard for visual novels is so low that visual isnt even a deragotary term really people just dont expect anything in the first place

This turns out to be pretty good for visual novel developers because if firewatch was considered a visual novel that would severely increase the standard

No more writing out text in renoy for you visual novel devs. Start up unity and get to modeling that 3d world you need for the player to walk around in and listen to audio logs and read notes left by people.
