☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣

Unlocking a physical lock might open up a new area in the web game etc. "A networked narrative, also known as a network narrative or distributed narrative, is a narrative partitioned across a network of interconnected authors, access points, and/or discrete threads. It is not driven by the specificity of details; rather, details emerge through a co-construction of the ultimate story by the various participants or elements." "an interactive scenario that is experienced through multiple channels and adapts to player behavior." Focus on feedback loop between online input and IRL input.
