I guess you could apply the term to both what is being referred to here, and to JRPGs. The difference is that JRPGs have a battle system. That makes them kinda the electronic form of a Fighting Fantasy book. Typically (what is referred to as...) Visual Novels are only interactive in the same way as a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

I enjoyed Tsukihime, but I don't generally have the patience to play through these things.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
