Visual Art's (ビジュアルアーツ Bijuaru Ātsu?) is a Japanese software company specializing in the publishing and distribution of visual novel video games for a large list of game developers. The game published are mostly for a male audience, though they also publish games targeted towards women as well. They are well known for the publishing of games by the company Key such as the famous visual novels Kanon and Air.
The company has coined a new type of visual novel called the kinetic novel where unlike in visual novels where the player is periodically given choices to make, there are no choices whatsoever and the player watches the game progress as if it were a movie. One of Key's games entitled Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume was one such game.
In addition to games, Visual Art's also release music CDs for game music. Of special note among the artists sold under this label is I've Sound, a techno/trance music production group who was the first in the eroge industry to perform at the Nippon Budokan.
