Yup, they are. The community would call it "interactive fiction" though.
For discovery, I recommend ifdb, especially browsing through yearly awards like the below - good chance the top entries are worth looking at

80 Days is not a visual novel; it's interactive fiction.
It's even listed here: ifdb.org/viewlist?id=.... If you can't stand text interfaces, the excellent game 'TYPE HELP' was recently remade as 'The Incident at Galley House'.

Interesting how IFDB even has a "cover artist" field. For comparison, fantlab ru mostly centers around post-soviet-space languages and has a smaller database, but does have separate pages for translators:

If you haven’t heard, this game won the 2024 IFDB Award for Outstanding Horror Game! I love Nate’s video on it, so if you’re concerned the material in the game will cause you problems if you play alone, play along with Nate instead!
Really excited to share my play/readthrough of Sundown by my buddy Charm! It's a really good story with a level of spooks, and I'm super excited to check out more!

Trump has left Europe looking for alternatives to US weapons, even if they are worse, weakening the alliance and losing US sales. If the world does take big strides away from US weapons, the US will have lost a lot of leverage.
