Visual novels are an intresting genre of game, as they don’t tend to have a lot of gameplay mechanics. For the most part, you spend your time reading through the story without even making any decisions, but despite this, the genre has grown in popularity. With so many great releases last year, it’s no surprise that 2022 has a great line-up already.

Whether you’re looking for something in the horror realm or wanting to indulge in a calming tale, 2022 isn’t going to disappoint you. Most of the games that are coming out are going to be available on multiple consoles, including Steam, making the genre more accessible than ever.
