Playable Fiction

Playable fiction refers to interactive storytelling experiences where players actively shape the narrative through their choices and actions. Unlike traditional static stories, playable fiction combines elements of games and storytelling, allowing participants to influence story outcomes, explore worlds, and develop characters dynamically. This medium creates an immersive experience where players are both consumers and creators of the narrative, often found in visual novels, interactive dramas, or branching story-based games. It emphasizes user agency and personal engagement, providing a customized storytelling journey that blurs the line between passive viewing and active participation.
