Digital narrative can only exist and be experienced in computer environment, covering interactive fiction, hypertext fiction, virtual reality narrative, and computer games with certain narrativity. 数字叙事只能在计算机环境下存在和体验,主要表现为互动小说(IF)、超文本小说、虚拟现实叙事以及具有叙事性的电子游戏。
Sometimes the term IF is used to refer generically to all adventure games, at other times to the games produced by the interactive fiction community rather than game companies. 有些时候,IF被用来泛指所有的冒险游戏,或交互式小说团体出品的游戏。
