No Narrate

A tool for removing narration and thoughts from Ren'Py visual novel games.

Idea

A story should unfold organically. Let the characters' actions, the environment, and active scenarios carry the narrative, without the need of inner voices or overt explanations for what can already be inferred and seen. Players are encouraged to draw their own interpretations of the events unfolding.

Types of Narration

There are 2 sectors to identify narration in Ren'Py:

• Character/Speaker

• Dialogue
