Interactive movie
Interactive cinema is a subgenre of quests, where developers focus even more on the plot, character imagery, and dialogues. In addition, the genre features special angles and camera movements that are more commonly used in films rather than in video games. The gameplay is designed to ensure that it does not disrupt the rhythm of the "cinematic" part, sometimes being minimized. Action scenes are reduced to QTE.
