Anything else: I really love using the mechanics of interactive fiction to convey a character's state of mind and to explore multiple possibilities for how an encounter could unfold -- this feels very basic but I really love exploring the universe of an IF story either by replaying and exploring different potential paths (playing the game as the nicey-niciest player character ever versus choosing the most inflammatory dialogue option, finding new ways to die!) or by examining every little thing. Asteroid City is a film about a fictional TV broadcast of a program about the production of an equally fictional play, and its various meta layers (as well as self-consciously tongue-in-cheekily retro mood) seem like they'd lend themselves to the mechanics of play, but I'd love to receive IF for any fandom. I'm most familiar with parser-based IF but I enjoy choice-based formats also.
