interactive literature

Interactive literature refers to written works that actively engage readers by allowing them to influence the story's direction, outcome, or experience. Unlike traditional books, these texts may include choices, embedded multimedia, or branching narratives that adapt based on the reader’s decisions. This approach creates a participatory experience, making the reader an active participant rather than a passive observer. It blurs the line between reading and gaming, offering personalized stories and dynamic storytelling. Overall, interactive literature enhances engagement by inviting readers to explore different paths and outcomes within the narrative.
