How it works

Ren'Py uses scripts to create visual novel scenes, similarly to Naninovel. The scripts use commands to direct scenes and menus.

Example script:

label family:
    scene bg beach2
    with dissolve

    "It wasn't long before Mary broke the silence, by asking me a question."

    show mary dark smiling
    with dissolve

    m "I told you a little about my family... but I haven't asked you about yours yet. What's your family like?"

    p "When I'm on the island here, I live with my aunt and uncle, but back home, I live with my mother, father, and sister."

    m "A sister? Is she older or younger?"
