  • An Brief Introduction to Interactive Fiction
    An Brief Introduction to Interactive Fiction Todd W. Neller What is Interactive Fiction? • A work of interactive fiction (IF, a.k.a. text adventure) is a puzzle game with – nonlinear storytelling with user-directed actions driving story, – text-based interaction (e.g. “go north”, “unlock door with skeleton key”), and – text description of locations and objects. • Environment changes with user interactions. • Puzzles are often solved by finding hidden objects or discovering creative uses for non-hidden objects (e.g. swamp gas + wine bladder + flint + steel + brick wall = loose bricks + new passage).
