Song of Memories is an adventure game where a mysterious disease is going around. Animation is sprinkled throughout the story, from conversation scenes to event scenes. Over 30 songs are in the game, including the opening, ending, and background music.

Wait, what?! Is that really how they describe it? Just an "adventure game"? This is the first time I've ever seen this game, but even I can tell it's some sort of visual novel.

In Japanese terminology, a distinction is often made between visual novels (abbreviated NVL, derived from visual NoVeL), which consist predominantly of narration and have very few interactive elements, and adventure games (abbreviated AVG, or ADV derived from ADVenture), a form of adventure gamewhich may incorporate problem-solving and other types of gameplay. This distinction is normally lost outside Japan, where both NVLs and ADVs are commonly referred to as "visual novels" by international fans.

It might very well be an adventure game. It's a mystery after all so it could have some puzzles.
