Description

Narrative is mostly conveyed through Dialogue. Yet it may reach the player/PC through a combination of different explorations which include a Narrator, Cut-Scenes, a Helper Voice, scattered and collectible Audio Logs, Radios, conversations with NPC during Gameplay (Dialogue), or even by Eavesdropping NPC.

Examples

Demon's Souls:
Bioshock:
Flower:
[show less examples...]
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory:
Papa Sangre:
Silent Hill:
Ecco the Dolphin: The PC addresses the NPC (Address Others) so that they tell pieces of the story (and other information).
Patapon: The Narrative sometimes interweaves with Levelled Performance, because the unlocking of sound performance abilities is accompanied with a new piece of the story [pending: double check this].
