[spoiler]I didn't read much of that, too much writing, condense and simplify; [i]if you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough [/i][/spoiler] I stumbled across this term on a youtube video about narrative in games, it's called [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesamtkunstwerk]Gesamtkunstwerk[/url], and it's probably why Shadow of the Colossus is my favourite game of all time; everything in that game just fits together, gameplay, narrative, worldbuilding, everything just clicks into place and creates something that can only work as a video game. That's how I think that industry should portray narrative(s). ------------- Now that I think about it, this is probably why I'm enjoying my playthrough of the walking dead so much, I never thought a game could be this engaging with just QTEs, point&click, and good writing.
