Abstract
The objective of the research is to create the "EDIHI" visual novel game in order to improve cognitive skills. In order to develop creativity and specific problem-solving skills in digital multimedia arts technology for first-year students, the 30 participants were split into two groups: the users of the electronic book medium EDIHI and the users of the game. The qualitative evaluation of visual novel games by experts is divided into five aspects, namely: 1) Game performance; 2) Game effectiveness; 3) Game flexibility; 4) Game presentation; and 5) Game content. The research found that qualitative evaluation of visual novel games by experts has a mean of 4.48 and a standard deviation of 0.51, quality is highest level. According to research studies, users of the visual novel game EDIHI reported higher perceived levels of developing creativity and problem-solving abilities on the fly than users of the electronic book media titled EDIHI at the statistical significance level of 0.05 in all aspects.
