    Hi @Ketan_ATA.

    PUN (notably the name is NOT Photon PUN, as the 'P' in PUN already stands for Photon) and Photon Bolt are both only available for Unity.

    Client APIs for Photon Chat and Photon Realtime are both included in the Photon Javascript Client SDK in our download section.

    Photon Chat has been designed for text chat.
    Photon Realtime despite its name does support turn-based games as well.

    So you need to choose Photon Realtime and you might also additionally want to use Photon Chat as well, if you want to have cross-room text-chat in your game.
