The visual novel genre constantly walks a very fine line of focusing on story and gameplay. Rightly, since the genre is mostly about telling a good story, some of them make that the focus in games like 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors. On the other side of things, other titles like Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, put forth some interesting gameplay mechanics to pair with the story. Corpse Party: Blood Drive goes straight down the middle of that road by attempting to implement survival horror mechanics into its compelling story.
