"Dyscourse is an interactive choose-your-own adventure "
As opposed to a choose-your-own-adventure that isn't interactive?

Seriously, that wording is incredibly redundant.

You made a post just for this? Really?

There are choose-your-own-adventure games that are all text that are very much on steam that have static backgrounds where you don't move anything.

Then there is this....as in interactive ....magic

I was bored and I'm a bit of a language snob.

The thing is - Just having choices makes it interactive. Thus the redundancy.

If you make no choices, it's not interactive. It's a book.

Or a comic.

Or a movie.

I find it difficult to see how a game of any kind wouldn't be interactive.

You're casting pearls before swine.

Telltale Games comes to mind.

Not really. You have choices in those as well, regardless of how little they actually end up mattering.

The mere act of choosing and have any change take place makes it interactive. That's my point. A choose your own adventure is interactive by default, be it a book or video game.
