video game storytelling

Video game storytelling is the art of conveying narratives through interactive experiences. Unlike traditional media, games engage players by allowing them to make choices, shape characters, and influence outcomes, immersing them in the story. This can include cinematic cutscenes, dialogue, world-building, and gameplay mechanics that reflect the narrative. Effective storytelling in games balances plot and player agency, enhancing emotional connections and investment in the characters and worlds. As players explore, they actively participate in the unfolding story, creating a unique experience that combines entertainment with personal involvement.
