Adult adventure games
Exploration carries these games: walking a map, picking up items, talking to characters and working out what opens the next area. That makes them slower and more hands-on than a visual novel. Symphony of the Serpent sends the player through a city with a mystery under it and BMO TV crosses point-and-click adventure with a visual novel, while Third Crisis mixes its story with battles and Wild Life drops the player into an open world. Three things separate the entries: how much puzzle solving stands between story scenes, whether there's a built-in hint system or quest log, and whether the game is complete or still receiving chapters. Players who get stuck easily should favor the ones with a quest log.
