So both Life is Strange and Until Dawn have what's called the butterfly effect something that's kind of a questionable concept at best but it's somewhat real. Telltale was famous for games like this as well. But yeah it's like depending on your actions it can change the story and thus play more like a movie with a different possible story. What type of game is this?

When a Visual Novel and a Point & Click Adventure game love each other very much they have a special hug and a baby genre is born.
