What are gamebooks?
"Gamebooks are interactive fiction where readers make choices that influence the story's direction and outcome, often by turning to specific pages or references. These books feature branching storylines with multiple endings and sometimes include role-playing game elements like character statistics, inventory management, and combat systems. Popular examples include the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series, primarily aimed at younger readers, and the "Fighting Fantasy" and "Lone Wolf" series, which incorporate RPG mechanics. Originating in the 1980s, gamebooks have seen a resurgence in digital formats that enhance interactivity with multimedia features."
