Can anyone explain to me how sound novels work?

It's largely a matter of trademarks. "Sound novel" is a trademark of Chunsoft, so other companies use the term "visual novel". At least, if Wikipedia is to be believed. Think background music and sound effects.


To add more since visual novels/sound novels are my thing:

Higurashi, Umineko, and Higanbana are also great examples of sound novels that focus more on telling a story through the text on screen, music and sfx. music. Here is example of an umineko bgm and Higanbana bgm below, now tell me do these not set a mood??

Bravely Default: This is the going to be the game that'll be at the top of the FAQs and boards charts for a good long time (of course it is right now, but you know). It's really good in many areas and the story's twist is pretty impressive writing, especially when you consider spoiler[why the localization removes the Flying Fairy subtitle].

Actually, this isn't a port of spoiler[Flying Fairy]even though that's what's shown on the NA box art, its actually the update version spoiler[For the Sequel.]

Which even though its the same game, its just like most of SE's re-releases with more added content that wasn't included in the game's 1st run.

OT: This weeks X button is more or less up and down about stuff. (No pun intended.)

I know, but the whole point to Flying Fairy needs to be hidden otherwise.
