Summary

The theme of the paper is the gamebook, and, in particular, the phenomenon of the resurgence of this form of entertainment in Poland. The text presents a brief history of Polish gamebooks, which began to appear in the late 80s and 90s of the 20th century. The technological progress and common access to portable electronics resulted in the game developers seeing the potential of the gamebooks again. For several years, the young generation of Polish artists has been trying to recall this form of play, and even has ambitions to use the gamebooks as full-fledged literary form.
