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.
