Can a slow, interface-based RPG still count as interactive fiction? I’d love to hear your thoughts (and maybe invite you to test an alpha build)

/r/interactivefiction is a community that welcomes discussion of all types of interactive fiction. Feel free to ask for or give recommendations, to ask for help in authoring or finding interactive fiction, to link to posts about interactive fiction, to share interactive-fiction inspired artwork, or to advertise your own work (please limit to once a week or less) or jams and competitions.

Built quietly, tested alone. Lately I can't tell if I'm still the right person to judge it.

A community for solo developers to share, learn, and support each other. Solo devs manage their entire project alone—no teams, just individual effort. Using assets, outsourcing, or working with publishers is fine, but the core development should be solo. Anyone can participate, but posts promoting non-solo projects may be removed. The goal is to keep this space focused on true solo development, so members can compare experiences fairly and get relevant advice.

Still love this kind of map (Fallout 1/2 style), but I wonder — is it too outdated for players today?
