1. Myst

   Myst is a graphic adventure puzzle video game designed and directed by the brothers Robyn and Rand Miller. It was developed by Cyan (now Cyan Worlds) and published by Brøderbund. The Millers began working on Myst in 1991 and released it for the Mac OS computer on September 24, 1993; it was developer Cyan's largest project to date. Remakes and ports of the game have been released for Sega Saturn, PlayStation, 3DO, Microsoft Windows, Atari Jaguar CD, CD-i, AmigaOS, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, iOS, and Nintendo 3DS. Myst puts the player in the role of the Stranger, who uses a special book to travel to the island of Myst. There, the player uses other special books written by an artisan and explorer named Atrus to travel to several worlds known as "Ages". Clues found in each of these Ages help to reveal the back-story of the game's characters. The game has several endings, depending on the course of action the player takes. Upon release, Myst was a surprise hit, with critics lauding the ability of the game to immerse players in the fictional world. The game was the best-selling PC game until The Sims exceeded its sales in 2002.

4. La hermandad de los escribanos

   In the hypertext story La hermandad de los escribanos the reader becomes the main character. The story is in a folder that can be directly downloaded from the website. A fraternity founded in the Middle Ages takes control of the user and he must read the narrative in a determinate time with enough attention to answer to a number of questions. The work combines text with multimedia elements once it is incorporated characteristics of interactive games. It is different from a game in the fact that the most important thing is the story and not the interactivity. It is a narrative in which everything is put in the right order and apart from the interactivity it can be read coherently.
