Annotation This article analyzes time and space of virtual narrative, which are compared to a fractal approach in science and philosophy. Virtual narrative is considered as realization of the story line of computer video games or interactive cinema. The examples of modern computer games, which are implemented in the framework of virtual narrative – modern video games with an open world game. The space of the virtual computer game narrative is represented as a complex phenomenon that implements the features of the gameplay, visual effects and principles of algorithmization, the complexity of which is isomorphic to fractals and fractal principles of visualization complexity. The time in virtual narrative is also considered in the view of fractal complexity examples of metamorphosis timeline within the virtual narrative. The conclusion is made about the possible productivity of fractal theory in the description of the multilayer structure of ontology of virtual narrative and its main components – space and time.
