I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

If anyone has any recommendations on these I'm all ears.
Disco Elysium is essentially a novel.
Phenomenal game
I'm not sure if it counts, but the Ace Attorney games are great and have a bit more interactivity than just reading.
Doki Doki literature club is very good. Don't read spoilers tho.
The best game I could describe as merely an interactive movie has been The Quarry. The game itself is pretty meh (but I'm not a big fan of these personally), however the movie part is amazing. It could easily be just a kick ass horror movie. And you can even play it that way with Movie Mode, where you pick the best outcome, the worst outcome, or set up some sliders to give a mix of outcomes at every interaction and just watch shit unfold.
Detroit: Become Human is also in this vein, with an even wilder array of possible outcomes as well as some more real gameplay and puzzle solving.
