comment
Puss in Book: Trapped In A Epic Tale is a Netflix interactive Gamebook-style short film.After an average day of defeating thieves, Puss finds an unusual book titled "The Adventures of Puss in Boots". Compelled, Puss opens it to have a look and finds himself trapped within the book's pages! At the whims of the Storyteller and/or Reader, Puss in Boots must find a way out of this twisted storybook, while making several choices along the way.By watching it on Netflix with a supported device, the viewer gets to play the role of The Reader, and make the choices presented throughout the story. Otherwise, an alternate version of the story is shown where the Storyteller alone makes the choices for Puss instead.

comment
Golden Ending: The Evil Queen route ends with Puss in Boots discovering who is behind it all, defeating him and freeing himself from the story. In contrast, the Pirate route ends with Puss simply brute forcing himself out of the story, and due to a taunt by the Storyteller, trying but failing to force himself back into the story so he can see what he missed.

But Thou Must!
 Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale / int_504e271f
comment
But Thou Must!: In most cases, if you make the “wrong” choice, the narrative will send you back on the “right” choice, anyway. In an example that benefits the protagonist, the Puss has the option of kissing the beautiful evil queen or simply shaking her hands, if you choose to shake hands, the queen will take the initiative and kiss him anyway.

The Unreveal: When Fartholomew was last seen, he was just a soul sealed away by the Lorenzo Lapis Lazuli. He starts to explain how he got his mouse body back and came to be in control of a magic book, but cuts his story short when it becomes apparent that Puss in Boots doesn't really care.

comment
Big Damn Kiss: After defeating her and reconciling, the option comes up to have Puss in Boots give Evil Queen Dulcinea a handshake or a kiss. Said kiss is a big sweeping musical number that is notably bigger than anything that has happened between Puss and the real Dulcinea before now. It's also unavoidable, picking the handshake will cause an unimpressed Dulcinea to kiss Puss herself.

Shmuck Bait: In the Pirate branch, Puss is able to take control of the story and attempts to break out, but the Storyteller taunts him about what could have happened in the Evil Queen branch. While it does work, the Reader is given the option of sending Puss to the Evil Queen branch or ending the story, which will kick Puss in Boots out of the book screaming, desperate to know how the other story would have played out.

Ship Tease: Although it isn't really her, Puss has a hard time hiding how much he wants to kiss Evil Queen Dulcinea. In the non-interactive story he makes a half-hearted argument for going with the handshake before settling on the kiss, and in the interactive story, Puss feels it would be inappropriate to mention his preference, but he gives The Reader a thumbs-up if they pick kiss and expresses extreme disappointment in them if they pick handshake.
