Do you think the phone book was a story?

Putting words on paper doesn’t make a story, nor does putting pixels on a screen make a game.

There’s nothing wrong with these “interactive” stories, but they’re not games because they lack gameplay.

Just because the game is narratively focused doesn't mean it lacks gameplay.
