I’m excited to play your game! This version of gameplay is definitely new for me. Like you said, we are more used to visual games. I grew up playing a lot of computer games, though, and still, even those were visual based. This type of gameplay really reminds me of DND. I’ve only ever played once, but I know a bit a bout it from my cousin who LOVES it. I’d be super interested to play the game (I think it was called 80 or 100 days) that the Case, Freeze, and Pane mentioned. I feel as if I’d get bored of the repetition in this type of game. I guess that is why story is so important. It also ties in meaningful choice. Like you said, we need to craft a story and an option that immerses the reader in potential consequences.

A “non-video game” video game has been pretty hard to wrap my head around. What makes a video game a game. Controllable characters? Gameplay mechanics? Creating a non-fiction narrative that someone can interact with. That someone could feel immersed in. It just feels like an anomaly. It’s true that “text based games aren’t everyone’s first idea of a video game,” but they definitely have a niche. When I think of visual novels, I cannot picture them being non-fiction. I honestly can’t think of one. Even the example used in the reading is entirely fictional. It’s based off a novel, but the events were seemingly written with creative freedoms. How can it not be like that since video games are such a unique medium. Art mimics reality, but video games are so layered. Narrative, music, gameplay, visuals, and interactivity are all part of it.
