Introduction
How do the effects of our actions in real life differ than in stories? Can electronic literature works based around relationships help us with our real life relationships? Do choices in stories reflect choices in real life? Professional authors Venice Villescas, Anna Namuleme, and Sarah Wu dive into answering these questions and many more in this virtual book. The authors use examples from three works, Façade (2005) by Michael Mateas and Andrew Stern, Orange Sweatshirt (2013) by David Devanny, and Quing's Quest VII (2014) by Dietrich Squinkifer.
