Synopsis

Resorting to an actual narrator to convey the narrative.

Relationships

Context:
Narrative .
Differs from:
Helper Voice .
Uses:
Dialogue .

Description

One possible way to convey the game's Narrative is to include a Narrator, in the literary and filmic sense. Options for the behaviour of the Narrator resemble those from film practice.

It is worth noting that, although Narrator and Helper Voice occasionally share form, they address distinctive explorations.

Examples

Call of Duty: World at War: Cutscenes between levels are narrated.
Max Payne: The PC acts as Narrator, in a filmic fashion.
Sam & Max 301: The Penal Zone: A character explicitly plays the role of Narrator (notice the inscription in his desk).
Commandos BCD: Story is narrated in a literary fashion.
[show less examples...]
Dead to Rights: Retribution: The PC himself narrates the story (actually, he is telling it to a NPC).
Aquaria:
Papa Sangre:
