About Visual-Novel.io

What this site is

Visual-Novel.io is a curated collection of free online visual novel games. Every title runs directly in the browser on desktop, tablet and phone — there is nothing to download, nothing to install and no account to create.

The library is organised into six categories: horror, no AI, romance, dating sim, otome and LGBT visual novels. A single game can sit in several of them, because visual novels rarely fit one genre, and the categories describe what a story is actually about rather than how it is marketed.

How games are chosen

A game earns a place here when its choices change something, its developer publishes honest content warnings, and its writing and art are clearly made for the story. Length matters too: every page states how long a game takes so you can plan around it.

Each game page is written from the game's official information — its premise, length, endings, controls and content warnings — and links to the official page so you can check the source and support the developer.

Where the games come from

Games belong to their developers. Each page credits the developer and links to the official page where the game is published. All trademarks, characters and game assets remain the property of their respective owners.
