The book 'El barco de Teseo', by J. J. Abrams, is currently a viral phenomenon in social networks such as Tik Tok thanks to its immersive and interactive format in which readers become an active part of the story.
It is not a book-game, per say, since the reader does not make decisions about the plot, but the reader does have an active role during the reading.
‘El barco de Teseo' has a peculiar plot in which the reader finds the volume in a bookstore and realizes that, in the margins of the book, two people who also borrowed it have had a conversation trying to find out who the author of the work is. The letters, hidden messages and postcards hidden among its pages have turned it into a phenomenon in social networks.
