Interactive Storytelling in VR Games: Revisiting Janet Murray’s Legacy

Abstract. This article re-examines Janet Murray’s foundational categories of digital narrative — immersion, agency, and transformation — through contemporary VR game design. It asks how these concepts change when the cinematic frame becomes a navigable space, and where a cinematic approach to interactive storytelling diverges from game-first design. The study argues that Murray’s framework remains productive for VR, provided agency is read not only as choice density but as the quality of embodied presence inside an audiovisual world.

Theoretical Approaches to the Study of Interactive Cinema: Systematising the International Discourse

Abstract. The article systematises international theoretical approaches to interactive cinema for art studies and audiovisual research. Competing definitions, historical genealogies, and analytical methods are organised into a coherent map of the discourse, with attention to how Ukrainian scholarship can enter comparative dialogue. The work proposes a clearer conceptual vocabulary that distinguishes interactive cinema from games, installations, and hypermedia while acknowledging their productive hybrid zones.
