Interactive narration refers to works where the narrative is driven by the users interaction. In such titles there is only one possible narrative, whether it is linear or
nonlinear, the plot lacks depth or does not progress in a meaningful way without user interaction. It is this lack of multiple narratives or ending which distinguishes it from
interactive narratives, such as
gamebooks, or video games with
nonlinear gameplay, in which the user actively chooses the direction of the story.
