Character splash

A character splash is a sort of introduction sequence for a (generally important) character, almost always displaying their name/alias in text beside either their sprite or a unique piece of character art and pausing, playing a short animation, or requiring a click from the player before continuing the scene. Character splashes may also have other information (ex: age, occupation, role/relation; etc) in the display and/or other graphical elements besides the character art that are usually repeated for each new character introduced. Often similar to a cut-in. Games that feature character splashes: Collar x Malice, Hatoful Boyfriend, Danganronpa series.
