Bandersnatch allows the viewer to make choices for the main character. It is therefore as much a game as it is a standard story. What is the difference? In standard stories, the character is determined to act as the writer has scripted him. In a game we are free to determine alternative actions for him. He is thus still determined, by us. We viewers feel free. But are we, really? Do we want to be?
