Abstract
In this paper we present our working example of an interactive story using the notion of variable focalization. In our interactive story the readers can experience the change of PoV (Point of View) while reading. To ensure that changing PoV creates sufficient conflicts and dynamics among characters, Greimas’s Actantial Model was applied to the story creation process. The final story was realized as a form of hypertext branching narrative using Inklewriter (Bird Attack story is accessible via https://writer.inklestudios.com/stories/f8pd).

In this paper we employ the term focalization similar to PoV as they are often interchangeably used, although their meanings are not the same.
