Abstracts:
The article examines the genres of modern literature based on the principles of computer games, such as game-book, quest-book, etc. The origins of the formation of such genres in the “pre-computer” era are investigated, as well as their development in the practice of modern video games. The logic of the work involves referring to the most revealing texts of literature of the previous period, such as “The Garden of Forking Paths” by J. L. Borges, “The Game of Classics” by H. Cortazar, as well as mentioning a wide range of similar books of the past, revealing the potential for video games with an interactive plot, involving the reader-player in the process of co-creation. The authors analyze in detail the modern game-quests “Symbiont”, “Pandemic: The Road Home” from the point of view of the technique of creation. The experimental book “Quest” by B. Akunin created according to the laws of interactive genres, was also considered. In addition, the “visual novel” was studied as a hybrid genre in which the text and visual images of a video game were combined.
As a result, it is concluded that interactive genres of literature do not lose their relevance, largely due to the introduction into the computer gaming space, where the author acts on an equal footing with the reader-player in the process of creating a text.
