Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
McElhatton is hot. This “interactive hyperfiction,” as the publisher interactively hypes her first novel, launches with a marketing campaign lauding “the first interactive novel for adults.” Astonishingly branded as a summer-reading book, PLM offers readers optional prose paths that might just take all summer to explore—at the end of chapters, the reader chooses between alternate plot lines that lead to 150 possible endings.
If you’re the kind of reader who likes, more or less, a story told in a straight line, with familiar rising action, characters who grow together, and if you need a certain stability in fictional time, you’ll quickly choose one option: early bedtime.
