Adapting a straightforward story as IF

The term some people use for it is “dynamic fiction” which might just be clicking “next” and maybe inputting your name or clicking a couple links for extra descriptions along a mainly linear path, or perhaps it diverges in “one final choice based on what you’ve learned” toward the end.

For examples, see any works by PaperBlurt or Xalavier Nelson’s “Screw You, Bear Dad” for quite successful examples.

I’ve always thought “dynamic fiction” was a misnomer since there’s less agency than in normal IF, but I believe they’re calling it “dynamic” in relation to a print book.
