(also known as: ‘responsove narrative’)
a form of digital interactive experience in which experiencers create or influence a dramatic storyline through their actions
When the balance between an ordained narrative and freewill interaction is tweaked just right, it creates the perception of great “game play” - a sweet feeling of being part of something large that is moving forward (the game’s narrative) while you still get to steer (the game’s play).1
