Rachel (talkdarcytome) (talkdarcytome) | 2 comments Visual novel games like Coffee Talk or Beacon Pines are mostly reading with a few decisions that you, the player, can make to influence the story. Are these things that could potentially be added to the Goodreads catalog?

Rachel (talkdarcytome) (talkdarcytome) | 2 comments Could you give some context as to why? If podcasts, digital comics, and other forms of non-traditional reading material is eligible to be added, why couldn't these be considered?

I believe it is because they are considered primarily games.

Former moderator & long time staff member confirming they are not considered books.

Podcasts are not eligible, and digital comics only under certain conditions.
