Hmm, this slope is feeling slippery all of a sudden
The genre is ergodic literature. It's a very slippery slope. I'm just embracing it and sliding down headfirst
House of leaves was the first time I ever even considered a book could be like that. Kinda like watching Memento for the first time, or a Kubrick film or something. It's just on another level of crafting a narrative at every level.
I thought for sure it had to be one of a kind, but it makes sense there's a rabbit hole of a genre to go down and that it leads to solo ttrpg territory lol
