Interactive Digital Narratives (IDNs) are a category of digital artifacts that have a pronounced narrative aspect and allow their users to have an impact on the story or its recounting. The terms IDN is used as a common name for a number of different products that share similar features. Typical examples of IDNs are interactive fictions, narrative-driven video games, narrative-driven serious games, interactive movies, interactive documentaries, narrative-driven virtual or augmented reality.

Well-known examples of IDNs are Last Hijack Interactive, that won the 2015 International Emmy Awards in the category "Digital Program: Non-Fiction".^[1]

Koenitz defines IDN as "a narrative expression in various forms, implemented as a multimodal computational system with optional analog elements and experienced through a participatory process in which interactors have a non-trivial influence on progress, perspective, content, and/or outcome" (REF).

ARDIN definition: "Interactive digital narratives blend traditional storytelling with digital technologies, allowing the audience to actively influence and shape the narrative experience. From interactive fiction to narrative-driven video games and interactive documentaries, augmented/virtual reality experiences, and beyond – interactive narratives open up vast new creative possibilities for immersive and participatory storytelling across media. The journal also covers analog interactive narratives, e.g. narrative-focused board games and LARPs (live action role-playing).

Until now, there has been no dedicated peer-reviewed journal focused on this rapidly growing interdisciplinary field. JIN aims to fill that gap, fostering dialogue, criticism, and knowledge-sharing among the diverse communities exploring the future of interactive storytelling."

IDNs have been discussed in particular in relation to the representation of complex topics, including climate change, migration crises, and mental health.

Several examples of particularly notable IDNs have been discussed in the academic literature, including:

IDN studies are mostly carried out by ARDIN at ICIDS
