How does someone play a story?

Chose Your Own Adventure books in electronic form.  That's bascially what I consider Heavy Rain.

Would that constitute play though?  Say you were an editor, and you had a writer working on a story, and the writer periodically asks you for decision points in the story, and gives you multiple options for the character.  You reply that the character should do one of the following choices.  Is the editor playing a story?

define play?

is it making choices to define your experience? then if the editor is experiencing the whole story and makes descisions that define it then yes, he played the story ^^
