People are all "video game generas are pointless, there's only like five of them." Until I ask them what genera 'Fallen London' and 'Billy vs Snakeman' are.
If you ask wikipedia it's a text based adventure game.
Like yeah, they are "text" based. But not in the same way that a parser game is. They're more menu based. And they're not a life sim, like most other menu heavy games where you control a single character.
So are we just lacking words for this? Do we need more generas? Can I volunteer to name them?
