What it is
The page introduces the docs for Monogatari, a web-based visual-novel engine. It outlines the reading order and the sections of the docs.
What it says
- The docs describe Monogatari as a free, open-source visual-novel engine that runs on the web.
- A game is a real website, so it runs in browsers, desktop and mobile.
- The engine reads script statements, runs a matching action, and updates the screen.
- The docs suggest general web tutorials for tasks they do not cover.
- Help is offered through community forums, a Discord server, Mastodon, email and GitHub.
- The docs include a section on releasing a game to web, desktop and mobile.
What evidence it gives
The page offers a description and a diagram of how the engine works. It gives no code samples or tutorials. The step-by-step chapters were not read.
