Same IP: Should You Start with Character Chat, Text Adventure, or Interactive Film-Game?

Choose the hypothesis that most needs validation first, then choose the content format. If the question is whether a character has recognizability, you can start with character chat; if the question is whether actions and costs can form a loop, you can start with a text adventure; if the question is whether performance, camera, and timing of choice hold up, you need an interactive film-game prototype. The three formats answer different questions, and the success of one prototype cannot be used to draw conclusions for another.
