NVL scripting engine is a visual novel engine comprising an interpreter for the DSL and a cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux/WebAssembly) display frontend supporting LTR Unicode (no shaping) and different renderers backends (DirectX11/12, OpenGL, Metal, Vulkan).
Here is an example of a script file (more can be found in `ADVect/runtime`):
```
BEGIN Scene1
// Set a variable
Set var 2
// Enter and exit dialogue mode with <<-and->>
<<-
[Alex]
Hello. Welcome to dialogue mode. "Click" to proceed to the next line.
Bailey will speak in French next.

Je ne suis plus Alex.

I will talk about markup syntax.
Bold and italics look like [b]{this} and [i]{this}, and you can [b,i]{combine both}.
Parametrized can be used like [wiggle_y(5)]{this}.
Furigana-style ruby text can be done like [rb("that")]{this}.

To grab a value from the environment, do it like this: ${var}.

Thanks!

// This will jump to another script defining "Scene2".
// JUMP Scene2
// Instead we will terminate the script here
END
