:I referred to my copy of the annual to see for myself, the way it's laid out (scattered across the data files about the [[Series 11 (Doctor Who)|series 11]] episodes) gave me the impression it was no different from the puzzle pages that the book has. I'm definitely not dead-set that idea, though, and am open to being corrected.

"Accessing TARDIS Data Files…"

It seems to me that this is a story in the same way that Who Is The Master?, or the Case Files, are, except in prose. I wouldn't classify it as a "(game)". IIRC there is maybe one bit where you're "supposed" to "fill in the password" yourself, with a pen, on the physical page — but it's not as though you have to do that for the story to progress. Is Before the Flood made interactive by Capaldi briefly pausing to tell us to "google it"?
