does interactive fiction, metafiction, hypertext and/or visual novels count as literature?

what about a book with images in it? does having media outside of the alphabet disqualify a work of art as "literature"?

it must be sad to be so close-minded...

before the invention of the novel, literature existed only in verse

a video game that emphasizes text as one of primary medium is just the same - an innovation that only expands the possibilities of literature and the literary experience

Is this bait? What makes you so confident in your reasoning when you utter this sort of nonsense?
>a video game that emphasizes text as one of primary medium is just the same

Great. We agree. >>>/v/

Nothing that took more than a single person to create can be art.

Don't listen to them, it was a meaningful literary and existetntial experience for me, much more than some very highly acclaimed pulp fiction like Hamsun's Hunger that /lit/ adores

Actually, my only gripe with it is that it was too /lit/ for me, sacrificing gameplay and replayability, but the gameplay mechanics have huge potential.
