personally i'm not too convinced by this particular manifestation of a "multimedia" "digi-novel" mainly because it seems completely artificial and poorly implemented (as everybody else here has said already) but it did remind me of The Reprover, an interactive "digital fiction". so as not to derail this thread too much i've started
a new one about it. i think we can expect to have liseuses capable of handling real multimedia (video, music...) very soon, so i wonder how many people will be attracted to true multimedia stories ? personally i think they're a distict form in their own right but i would expect the audience for books and the audience for this sort of interactive fiction to overlap somewhat.
