First off, House of leaves is a great example. instead of direct reader involvemenT, the reader is a character in the book, actively contributing. one of my favorite books. second, I’m not 100% sure but I believe Hussie has mentioned Donnie Darko as being intentionally similar to the timeline hornswogglery in the comic.

@steamisteaholic Cube escape is good! But the other rusty lake games (especially roots, the past within, and the white door) deal more with timeline concepts and Homestuck-style shenanigans.
