This article approaches the question of choice in interactive narratives and presents a multidimensional classification model based on a selection and characterization of 31 existing works. The methodology for establishing such a classification is detailed, which considers composing elements, functions, aesthetic considerations, and mechanics for choice presentation. This article uses an observational approach for analyzing interactive narratives based in theoretical considerations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
