“…Embedded narratives can however stand on their own as touched upon above, but it does open up for a lot interpretation by the receivers. As an example, Bevensee et al (2012a) developed the game Aporia: Beyond the Valley, with which they researched whether the "open-ended" format of these kinds of ES games affects the continuation desire of the player (Bevensee et al, 2012a).…”

“…Instead we just want to know whether the narrative aspect of that experience is engaging. By also measuring game engagement with methods such as continuation desire (Bevensee et al, 2012a;Schønau-Fog, 2014) or the game engagement questionnaire (Brockmeyer et al, 2009), we could potentially triangulate the results and exclude biases from elements that are not included in Busselle and Bilandzic's method. If the player is not in general engaged in the game, that might be the reason they are not engaged in the narrative.…”

Providing intelligent feedback to aid authoring has been proposed as a way to speed up authoring, give the author more control, and to enable the authoring of more complex interactive narratives. However, there is little research investigating what concrete feedback items would be useful for interactive digital narrative (IDN) creators. In this paper, we discuss potentially useful feedback items in relation to authoring goals and concerns. We perform a systematic literature review to make a list of concrete feedback items of interest related to the most emphasised concern of authoring -the effect of the interactive narrative on the user. We identify 47 User Experience (UX) dimensions in the IDN literature that could serve as useful feedback items, covering 8 categories -Agency, Cognition, Immersion, Affect, Drama, Rewards, Motivation and Dissonance. This list combines and untangles how different IDN researchers have interpreted and expressed interest in the complex idea of UX in the past decade and gives us insight into what concrete aspects of UX might be useful to estimate via automated feedback.

Engaging users is a priority for designers of products and services of every kind. The need to understand users' experiences has motivated a focus on user engagement across computer science. However, to date, there has been limited review of how Human-Computer Interaction and computer science research interprets and employs the concept. Questions persist concerning its conception, abstraction, and measurement. This article presents a systematic review of engagement spanning a corpus of 351 articles and 102 definitions. We map the current state of engagement research, including the diverse interpretation, theory, and measurement of the concept. We describe the ecology of engagement and strategies for the design of engaging experiences, discuss the value of the concept and its relationship to other terms, and present a set of guidelines and opportunities for future research.
