Choosing Our Own Adventure

The reason why we are choosing that selected adventure, is because it shows more tension and gives us the impression that it is the most interesting when we further read... sometimes we will choose the safer option other than the most dangerous option. Overall, we would choose what we would think are the most correct option to unfold the story as possible - this can be by choosing the safer and easier option that they give.
The option of this was that we would either go with the police or with your own friends. We chose to go with our friends as we felt that our loyalties laid with them and would be the better option. However, another member of our group decided to go with the police, which made all of us doubt each other to what we wanted to go with.

Some of the time, the other members in the group will decide to go with another option other than the option that you're going to choose. They may disagree with you because some of the time, you would want to choose a simpler and easier option and the others may want to go further into the story with an unsafer choice.

I am relating these questions with the interactive video of 'The Knife' that we watched a couple of weeks ago to get inspiration and ideas for our own interactive video for our production 'The Hunted'. 

Are the stories more complicated than standard stories - or are the variations just superficial?
The stories are both the same but instead of having your story already chosen for you, you have the option to make your own decisions by choosing from 3 max options.

If you have too much choice - can it really still be a story? 
Yes, a story is a story. It doesn't matter how many choices you have, you are still creating an ending to a story. Within 'The Knife' interactive video, it gave 3 options to choose from. By doing this, it may give many different endings from either positive or negative.

How do these choices affect you understanding of characters and their psychology? 
Depending on what choices you choose, you will have different views against each individual character. This is because, depending on what choice you choose, it may bring some actions that either a character may take which will cause you to have either a positive or negative view towards them. This will also reflect back onto 'The Knife' interactive video as it gave options that would create conflict between both parties that were included within the film or choices where it would lead you to walk away from the certain situations.
