What this episode covers

Visual novels! They exist and we play them. Sometimes. With the recent (well recent when we recorded this) rejection and then reacceptance of Chaos;Head Noah on Steam, we thought maybe we'd talk about that! What does this mean for the medium of visual novels in the west and what even is a visual novel? We break down most of that and more this week!
