I have not been in a bookish mood recently, so… does playing a visual novel somewhat count? These things are basically overgrown choose your own adventure books, after all. The one I’ve been playing is Slay the Princess - it’s a horror game (disturbing/somewhat graphic rather than actually scary - check out the content warnings if you’re concerned) where you have to go into a cabin in the woods and, well, slay the princess who is trapped in the basement. If you don’t, the world will end.

It’s quite cleverly written - I’ve had many little moments when I was following a conversation and thinking about what I, as a player, would like to say under the circumstances, and then the game would offer me exactly that as one of the dialogue options. The voice acting is on point, the art is beautiful, about the only issue I have is that I didn’t enjoy the final resolution all that much (idk why - I think that it’s at least partially a pacing issue and spreading the last infodump out a bit more would have helped). I encourage anyone not violently allergic to the concept of a visual novel to give it a look.

Oh, and you get to bully the narrator and it’s beautiful.
