I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream.

And pic related, interactive fiction is defiantly literature, at least when it comes to this.

A Mind Forever Voyaging (AMFV) is a 1985 interactive fiction game designed and implemented by Steve Meretzky and published by Infocom. The name is taken from book three of The Prelude by William Wordsworth:

The antechapel where the statue stood

Of Newton with his prism and silent face,
The marble index of a mind for ever

Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone

Though my knowledge of the medium is quite limited, the feeling I get is that it's too niche and Otaku centered at the moment for it to reach its full potential.
Think about it, this is the perfect platform to experiment with and explore on Kindle like devices, yet it's mostly limited to more game like puzzle-em-ups and adolescent anime power fantasies/erotica.
Not that there's anything wrong with those but I crave more variation and literary merit, the kind that Interactive Fiction almost achieved back in the day.

Not all text adventures are what one would consider great works of literature, in fact many are more about puzzles and item hunts or the standard "choose your adventure" book type fare.
But there are exceptions.

One of the best sci-fi books ever.
