Hologram Will
"Hologram Will" is an interactive science fiction game. Businessman and millionaire David Mann has passed away, but before his death he recorded a hologram that acts as his will and testament. The hologram has been given to one of his heirs who has become the will's executor. The player can choose between three different heirs who each has their own unique message recorded for them. The inheritance consists of several rare and valuable items collected by Mann, in addition to company shares. As the executor, the player can also increase their inheritance by claiming the other heir's shares. However, legal and other fees will be incurred during this process and can exceed the net benefits of the will, making this a costly affair.

A Brief History of Interactive Fiction Games... Choose Your Own Adventure and Visual Novels
Interactive fiction is a game genre that has been around for quite some time now and has a rather in-depth history to it. We’ve already taken a look at part of the genre, primarily text and graphical adventures. But today I’m going to talk about some other things that are important to interactive fiction!
So, I’m sure that many of us as kids read Choose Your Own Adventure books (or CYOA); novels where at the end of each page you were asked to make a choice as to what to do and then would be directed to a different page depending on your actions. Sometimes you’d make it to the end, sometimes not.
And if you’re wondering just what these books have to do with video games, the answer is a surprising amount! So let’s take a look at these types of books.

The Stanley Parable is an interactive drama and walking simulator designed and written by developers Davey Wreden and William Pugh. The game carries themes including choice in video games, the relationship between a game creator and player and predestination/fate.
The player guides a silent protagonist named Stanley. As the story progresses, the player is confronted with diverging pathways. The player may contradict the narrator's directions, which if disobeyed will then be incorporated into the story. Depending on the choices made, the player will encounter different endings before the game restarts to the beginning.

Dante's Academia
Dante's Academia is a web-based narrative game, made by Julia Sebastien. The story follows the protagonist who is trying to reach the Ivory Tower in hopes of making their parents proud. The overall game is filled with metaphors. The ivory tower, as an example, is a metaphorical place where people are "happily" cut of from the rest of humanity. Meanwhile, Dante here is a refference to Dante Alighieri, an Italian poet, writer and philosopher, who is known for his depictions of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven.
To put it simply, game's protagonist is trying to reach the top of the academy (heaven = the ivory tower). To achieve that, the character has to go through hell, which in this case is a dark forest, a shady club (filled with temptations), a burning maze and a military training ground.
