I'm looking for good examples of IF in English, Mandarin, and Castilian, especially those that could be used in a classroom setting.
★★Narrative: ★I personally enjoy the narrative and story. ★★I recommend the work as a good example of literature.
★ Interactivity: For playability, reader agency, illusion of freedom.
★ Pacing: Such as good mechanics and structure, fair puzzles, clear objectives, clear narrative breadcrumbs/hints, toys that distract from frustration, graphic map, walkthrough.
★ Bonus: The fifth star is only for extraordinary works. For the narrative, interactivity, fun gameplay, emotional impact, artistry, exposition of topic, use of medium.
