From Linear Story Generation to Branching Story Graphs

Interactive narrative systems are storytelling systems in which the user can influence the content or ordering of story world events. Conceptually, an interactive narrative can be represented as a branching graph of narrative elements, implying points at which an interactive user's decisions influence the content or ordering of the remaining elements.
