Line 16:
The directed graph of entries for a book can contain alternate paths to the [[Schrödinger's Gun|same destination]], loops, and occasionally island entries unreachable from any legitimate point in the book. Sometimes these unreachable entries are used to humourly scold the reader for cheating. On rare occasions, these islands have included the best ending/only ending in which the PC survives, rendering the whole thing [[Unwinnable]].
Many [[Tabletop RPG]] rulebooks include a short (under 100 scenes) example of this trope, where the reader uses the game system (and a pre-generated character) as the randomizing element, as a way of teaching the rules and RPG concepts.

=== [[Film]]
* The horror film ''[http://www.oh-the-horror.com/page.php?id=598 Chuckle's Revenge]''.{{context}}
=== Live-Action TV ===
Line 110 ⟶ 109:
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]'' includes a short but playable one in its list of [[The Elder Scrolls: In-Universe Books|in-universe books]] called ''Kolb and the Dragon''.
* You can find a non-playable one in ''[[Drakensang]] 2''. Apparently it's seems to be a [[Take That]].
* ''[[MapleStory]]'' has a short [[Mini Game]] like this that can be played daily if [[Shout Out| you obtain the]] [[The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe| Antique Wardrobe]] and place it in your character's Home.
▲=== Webcomics ===
* The sprite comic ''Metroid: Third Derivative'' once used a 12-panel [http://bobandgeorge.com/comics/archives/metroid/Metroid239.png example] as filler.
* [[Jason Shiga]] has a few gamebook [[Web Comics]] on [http://shigabooks.com/ his website]. ''[[Meanwhile]]'' is the longest and best of these.
Line 121 ⟶ 120:
* The second [[MS Paint Adventures|MS Paint Adventure]], ''BardQuest'', was in this format, but it was abandoned pretty quickly for being too complicated to do as a serial.
* [[Buttersafe]] has one, called [http://buttersafe.com/2007/05/03/choose-your-own-adventure/ "Choose Your Own Adventure"], but [[Chandler's Law|loses the will part way through...]]

Line 152 ⟶ 150:
=== Other Media ===
* The Thrill Ride Edition of ''[[Final Destination|Final Destination 3]]'' on DVD features "Choose Their Fate", in which the viewer gets to determine the fates of some characters. Subverted in that each person would be killed in a different fashion immediately after they were saved by your choice. This is sort of in keeping with the predestination ideas of the movie.
* ''She Loves The Moon'' is a strange cross between gamebooks, [[Alternate Reality Game|ARGs]], and graffiti, as it was drawn on the sidewalks of San Francisco.
