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?

I'm fairly sure years ago that there was a game called alone in the dark that was very similar to this but that was long before telltale. Anything I can remember about it is that it had had fire physics and that every time you started a new level it would load up and say "last time on a loan in the dark" and then give you a tv show style rundown of what you previously done

That was more of a survival horror game
