Narrative gameplay refers to a style of video game design that emphasizes storytelling and character development. In these games, players engage with a plot that unfolds through their actions and decisions, often leading to multiple outcomes. This approach allows players to immerse themselves in the game's world and connect with its characters on a deeper level. Many games, such as The Last of Us and Life is Strange, utilize narrative gameplay to create emotional experiences. Players often face moral dilemmas and choices that impact the story, making each playthrough unique. This blend of gameplay and narrative enhances player engagement and investment in the game's outcome.
