Abstract
No Reflection is an interactive, non-linear narrative based upon the short story Uden Spejlbillede (translated to No Reflection) written by Katharina B. Mortensen and published in the magazine Himmelskibet no. 28 in 2011 [1]. This paper demonstrates how the linear short story Uden Spejlbillede were made into an interactive, non-linear narrative. In order to do this, is the structure the directed network used, while maintaining the original linear storys format of a diary. The non-linear narrative was created using the game engine Unity3D and a plugin called Fungus.

Notes
- 1.
Disnarrated: what could have happened [6, p. 118].
- 2.
Didascallic: self-explanatory or having an obvious message [3, p. 16].
- 3.
The author-audience distance concerns with how large the interpretation gap between the sender and receiver is. The larger the interpretation gap is, the less of the narrative is self-explanatory and hence the more abstract is the story [3, pp. 15–16].
