You are already dead.

Abstract

This entry explores The Allure of Regret, exemplified by Time Travel in Fiction and is used here as a form of criticism, questioning the authenticity of audience existentialism in player choice-driven narratives, otherwise known as “Choose Your Own Adventure” inspired interactive film and video games. Written as a faux branching-narrative adventure, this critique, part written, part video essay and combining concrete with abstract, takes the reader through a journey loaded with visual, aural and surreal experiences.
