Upcoming visual novel games to watch out for in 2022

Visual novels releasing in 2022.

Visual novels are an intresting genre of game, as they don't tend to have a lot of gameplay mechanics. For the most part, you spend your time reading through the story without even making any decisions, but despite this, the genre has grown in popularity. With so many great releases last year, it's no surprise that 2022 has a great line-up already.
