since getting into homestuck ive only been able to think of very few examples of other media that gets even partially as dense or creative with its sense of storytelling and/or narritive


But!, one of the biggest examples i turn to is Mark Z Danialewski's House of Leaves.


its a favorite book of mine and i cant help but feel a somewhat similar approach to metacontextual narrators and user involvement.


other than that Donnie Darko comes to mind especially what with its approach to time travel and time-loops


so i was curious what other examples others might have and/or opinions on these ones ive given

Umberto Eco - Foucault's Pendulum (a more timely work than ever!)

Donald Barthelme - The Dead Father


Echoing the recommendation for Transdimensional Brain Chip.
