The Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine is a free, open source, cross-platform [[authoring system]] and engine for creating [[visual novel]]s, a type of interactive storytelling that focuses on text-based interaction with illustrated (but not usually animated) characters through [[menu-based conversation]]. As a mature environment, it provides automatic support for several useful features including save/load, branching stories, and visual transitions. Authors create stories with a custom scripting language that can also include custom Python code to extend base functionality. As of 2013 Ren'Py is still widely used and in active development.
