Interactive fiction, often abbreviated IF, describes
software simulating environments in which players use text
commands to control
characters and influence the environment. Works in this form can be understood as literary
narratives and as
computer games. In common usage, the word refers to text adventures, a type of
adventure game with text-based input and output. The term is sometimes used to encompass the entirety of the medium, but is also sometimes used to distinguish games produced by the interactive fiction community from those created by games companies. It can also be used to distinguish the more modern style of such works, focusing on narrative and not necessarily falling into the adventure game
genre at all, from the more traditional focus on
puzzles. More expansive definitions of interactive fiction may refer to all adventure games, including wholly graphical adventures such as
Myst.
