When do you call a Visual Novel a video game?

I would say that it is and isnt a videogame .

It depends what the visual novel brings to the table to be more a videogame or more as audio-visual book .

Is there alot of interactions and decisions inbetween to interact with the game-world than it is a videogame. But if its just a story to be more passively taken with decisions that alters the situation of the story then its just like a more storytelling form .

I think it is a genre that isnt overall resulting to be a videogame but can be one .
