This new format of interactive literature is one of the most beautiful genres I have ever discovered. Julie Escorba’s In The Woods felt very real on and emotional level due to the perfect choice of music to go along with each praise. From the beginning when she is walking along the forest alone, we hear a calm yet subtle sound, as if something is waiting to happen. The music tenses up on the next page, with the theme becoming darker and darker. The feeling changes to emptiness, with cruel visuals of nature in the background. When she meets someone the music changes to a psychedelic tone as if to describe something rebellious and adventurous, yet mysterious is about to take place. As they walk the music changes to peaceful and then takes on a joyful tone. However, it seems tensions begin to grow as she feels at more and more unease with her partner. Instincts tell her to walk away, and she does in the middle of the night while he is sleeping. The music begins to change tone as if symbolizing the closing chapter in this story. A new one begins the next morning as she awakes to the light, she realizes she was where she once was, alone, only this time not afraid.
