Abstract
Chat-based User Interfaces (UI) have become popular in transactional applications such as in the finance and news industry. Although this trend has been noted, the effects this has on user engagement have not been well documented. After completing a literature review to better understand the appeal chat-based UI has on users, a result from a theoretical framework will be extrapolated in an attempt to examine how interactivity was affected when translating a traditional game (Neko Atsume) into a chat-based game (The Dog Lover's Yard).
