interactive storytelling
Reader-driven plot development
Interactive storytelling is narrative that responds to audience choices, allowing participants to influence plot, characters, or outcomes.
The term covers video games with branching narratives, choose-your-own-adventure books, and immersive theater where spectators affect the action.
The game's interactive storytelling meant every player experienced a different ending.
