Interactive fiction has been around for decades and has many forms, such as video game style adventure games or RPGs, text adventures, and gamebooks. The most famous example is the CYOA children's book series, which sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide. Interactive fiction adventures put the viewer/readers in the drivers seat, giving them a sense of agency, which is proven to be more engaging. Today, CYOA style projects are very popular and can be found on many social platforms such as YouTube, Reddit, and Imgur. However, none of these platforms offer tools designed to create interactive projects, or a community where interactive projects can be monetized.
