## renpy-6.16.5 – visual novel engine

## Description

    Ren'Py is a free and cross platform engine for digital storytelling. It
    makes it easy to combine words, images, and sounds to create visual
    novels and life simulation games.

    Visual novels are computer-based stories that are told through words,
    images, sounds, and music. Many visual novels also present the player
    with menu choices that allow the player to control how the story is
    told.

    Ren'Py's script language makes it easy to write visual novels, and other
    writing-heavy games. It's easy to learn, and scales well to the largest
    projects. Even without customization, Ren'Py provides the features
    players have come to expect from their visual novels.

    Life Simulation games, such as management and dating sims, are more
    interactive games that mix story with gameplay. Ren'Py's screen language
    allows one to create complex interfaces, while its support for the
    Python scripting language makes allows for complex game logic, if that's
    what your project requires.
