Abstract
Can interactive games recreate and transform the experience of narrative fiction? The Garden is an infinite story generator that challenges the boundary between generative narratives and fiction, created by D3.js, html, and jacaScript. The pattern system on the screen leads you into a choice-based adventure game, wherein four parallel narratives, like forking paths, unravel to let you experience: regular events, special events, "failure", and "success". The narratives are constructed by daily chorus and the story Beauty and Beast. As you enter the world of patterns and words, imagine yourself in a garden of the infinite, where landscapes diverge and converge.
