Well, it has about as much gameplay as To the Moon.

No, why are people always trying to change shit? Lmao, video gaming is in the worst state ever right now due to constant pandering and catering to wider audiences. Leave my stupid niche romance alien-fighting mecha stories out of this.

VN don't have gameplay though, unless you consider a choose your own adventure book a game.

i wonder where exactly the line is drawn at whether it's a visual novel or not -- many people consider ace attorney games to be them, but they clearly have dynamic gameplay and aren't just advancing text

Eh, you're exaggerating. Deltarune as at least as much gameplay as Finding Paradise.
