A hypertext story is a form of digital literature where the narrative isn’t told in a single line but across multiple lines and scenarios, with the reader switching sequentially between different sections and times. I think this type of story represents the future of current linear narratives and can even be used to create works that might be considered masterpieces, which excites me. PAX is an older example of hypertext storytelling. Newer examples include narrative apps that take this even further, immersing you in the story’s flow. For instance, SIM is one such app where, as a finder of a lost phone, you explore its contents and discover that the owner, recently involved in strange activities, is missing, and you begin tracking the clues to find them.

The article "Novel in Story" by Leila Sadeghi and "Hypertext: A New Challenge in Hermeneutics" by Nozhat Noohi provide excellent and comprehensive explanations on this topic, and reading them is highly recommended.
