Convention of Interactive Literature

The Convention of Interactive Literature refers to the agreed-upon norms and expectations guiding how readers engage with digital or interactive texts. It involves understanding that such works often require active participation, like making choices or solving puzzles, which influence the story's outcome. This convention helps creators design experiences where users can navigate narratives dynamically, recognizing that their interactions shape the story, blurring the line between passive reading and active engagement. Essentially, it's a shared understanding of how digital stories function differently from traditional books, emphasizing user involvement as an inherent part of the experience.
