Complex Systems
The game system much more elaborate than your typical gamebook game system becauseThese game are on light version of full RPG rules and plays more like a solo RPG adventure module than a gamebook.
System Less
This is a game design course and thus pure narrative, the typical Choose-Your-Own-Adventure types gamebooks that lack game system, e.g. inventory and combat, are few on this tree.
JRPG (Narrative) vs. Western RPG (Agency)
Agency Focus
Agency focus game promotes writing your own epic journey. You go where you please and take on quest you that defines your personal hero. A greater level freedom is afforded at the cost of a well crafted story. Since it is impossible to to write a story of that can encompass all the major decision that the player can make, the story is simple.
One plays to enjoy the freedom fulfilling the fantasy of being a hero of the story that the player creates.
Narrative Focus
Narrative focused roleplaying games have the game is tightly wrapped around an engaging story. While a every choice make is wold shattering or building, the story is linear and choices are mere illusions because the story rich and well crafted but linear. It is as if you are reading an epic novel but to turn the page, you have to beat a monster.
One plays to immerse themselves in emotionally charged relationships and savor the heroic struggles of the protagonist in a beautiful story told by the game designer.
