Am I allowed to make a VN with RPG elements?

Hello!! I'm wondering if I would be allowed to make my entry with elements from an RPG- moving/walking around is the main one. If it is not allowed, I understand and am willing to adapt. Thank you 馃┒馃┒

Hi! As long as your game can still be classified as a visual novel, you're totally allowed to have RPG elements. If you're unsure, ask yourself if the game would still be fully playable if all the text was to be removed. If the answer is no, then you're most likely good to go.

Sorry to bother you again, but when you say "fully playable", do you mean story wise? Like the game doesn't make sense without the story?

This is what I mean, yes. The story must be the main element

Does something Like Disco elysium be considered acceptable. A narrative rpg and the like.
