Elsewise: Authoring Open-Ended Interactive Narratives with Possibility Space Visualization
A research paper posted to arXiv presents Elsewise, a system for creators of interactive narratives who build branching spaces of story outcomes that players then explore through their own choices. The system combines generative AI with a visual map of the possibility space, letting authors see and shape the range of stories a player might encounter. The work targets more open-ended, player-driven storytelling than traditional branching scripts.
