I think the articles is missing out by not mentioning Visual Novel, which I think will most likely be the first of such case. The genre is very close to traditional novels.

- nsagent 2y agoAgree wholeheartedly. I still have a big box shrink wrapped copy of Planescape: Torment on my bookcase. I'd add Arcanum to that list as well. Those games are the reason I just finished a PhD focused on NLP. I've long been interested in giving players even more freedom to roleplay within the confines of narrative driven games. The research platform I created based on Disco Elysium [1] has enabled some cool new research I just finished up for my dissertation that I hope to publish soon.

- constantcrying 2y agoI personally hate visual novels. They are usually a very clumsy mix between the interactivity of a game and the lengthy writing of a novel. Never have I felt like a visual novel was succeeding in either aspect.
