emergent narrative

Emergent narrative refers to storytelling in which the plot and character development arise organically through interactions and choices, rather than adhering to a fixed script. This approach is often seen in video games, role-playing games, or collaborative storytelling, where players influence the story based on their decisions and actions. Instead of following a predetermined path, the narrative evolves, leading to unique experiences for each participant. This allows for greater creativity and personalization, as stories can unfold in unexpected directions, shaped by the players' engagement and perspectives.
