Engine for making visual novels and story-driven games, scripted in a simple language and Python.

Desktopfree

Ren'Py is an open-source engine for creating visual novels and other story-driven games, distributed as a downloadable application for Windows, macOS and Linux. Writers script scenes, dialogue and branching choices, with Python available for more complex logic. It is aimed at authors and small teams making narrative games without building an engine themselves.
