Elayna's Week 5- Games or Literature?

Personally, I find myself always leaning towards a game rather than a book. I have never been the type of person to successfully sit down and lock in to every typed out word on the page. However, in Chapter 4 Rettberg discusses his take on interactive literature and how it's more commonly perceived as a game! Despite my perspective on literature, I totally feel I gravitate towards its interactive nature, and enjoy having freedom within a text. This genre is definitely one of my favorites, and I loved exploring it!

The piece I decided to look into was Zork. Rettberg had an interesting take on Zork, and I wanted to try it out. I immediately thought it was actually pretty cool! I loved being able to type in different verbs, or commands, and watch my story change every time. This interactive piece of literature can go on and on, and change plot lines so many times which makes for such an awesome piece of literature! I found it comical at times when I would type a response, or word and it felt like it was arguing with me! This genre is just so engaging, and fun! I look forward to trying some new interactive literature!
