The record

What it does: Naninovel is a Unity extension with authoring tools for scenario writers and a C# framework for creating dialogue, cutscenes, and visual novels.
Scripting: Writers can create stories in text documents using NaniScript or with a visual Story Editor, with branching, variables, and conditions built in.
Built-in systems: The product includes UI, save and load, state rollback, localization, auto-voicing, and dialogue triggers.
Customization: Built-in features can be extended, overridden, or replaced using prefab changes or a C# API.
Integration: Naninovel can be used as a drop-in dialogue or cutscene system in games of other genres, as well as a standalone visual novel engine.
Free demos: The site offers a browser-based WebGL game demo and a standalone web sandbox for trying the scripting and engine features before purchase.
Integrations: Naninovel has an official VS Code extension with syntax highlighting, error checking, auto-completion, and interactive documentation for scenario scripts.
Distribution: Naninovel is distributed through Unity's Asset Store, a GitHub package repository, and a download archive.
Supported Unity versions: The compatibility page lists Unity 6.0 and 6.3 LTS with the latest patches; non-LTS releases are unsupported.
Platform compatibility: The runtime uses no platform-specific APIs, precompiled native libraries, or third-party dependencies and is expected to work on platforms Unity can target.
Notable limits: The compatibility page says HDRP is not actively tested or recommended, and medium or high managed bytecode stripping profiles are unsupported.
Support: Community help is available on Discord; an active Support Plan adds priority team responses, a support bot, source repository access, and GitHub package access.
License: The EULA grants a single-seat license for personal and commercial use on a maximum of two computers and permits perpetual integration into and distribution as part of games and digital media.
