I mean visual novels are more graphic novel than audio book, especially since most of them don’t have voice acting.
But they’re still video games just as much as text-based-adventure games. You control the actions happening in the story and can interact with it, some having gaming elements like minigames or an inventory system. I don’t see why they wouldn’t be called games.
I don’t think comparing an audiobook to a text-based adventure game is fair. A text-based adventure game has actual gameplay it’s just presented as text. That is very different than what I’m talking about which is literally just a picture book that is read to you. I personally think they make much more sense on a platform like Audible. When i come home and want to game, it’s NEVER “should i have a picture book read to me, or replay Bayonetta?”
