Motivations for Rereading in Interactive Stories: A Preliminary Investigation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a preliminary investigation into the concept of rereadability in interactive stories. Through a close reading of the text-based interactive fiction Alabaster, seven possible motivations for rereading an interactive story are identified. This close reading suggests that, while there are many ways in which rereadability in interactive stories is similar to rereadability in traditional (non-interactive) fiction, there are also forms of rereadability that are unique to interactive storytelling.

We discuss the iterative design and playtesting of the prototype of our game, and argue that...
