Initial Research - Linear, Branching, and Non-linear Narrative Types

Linear Narrative

A linear narrative is a "normal" narrative that is a series of events that is not changed by the player and their actions inside of the game. Linear narratives are often used in books or movies, but they can also be found in games that include a set story.

Here are a couple of positives to linear narratives:

They could create a more interesting story with more character depth and development compared to other narrative types.

They can provide the player with a clear goal.

They can control the feel or the "tension" of the game better than other narrative types, making the game more interesting to play and follow along.

And here are a couple of negatives about linear narratives:

It limits what control the player has over the game, making the game less interactive than others.

It effects the game in general, making it a one time play and can not be played again.

It forces the player to agree with the storyline and the decisions the developer and characters make in the game.

Here are some games that feature linear narrative features:

Uncharted: Unchanted is a series of games that follow the story of a treasure hunter called Nathan Drake and his group. The game clearly shows signs of "scripted" scenes and events that make this a linear narrative game.

Portal: Portal is a puzzle/platformer game that requires the player to use a device that can create portals. The device is called the Portal Gun, and allows the player to create portals on specific surfaces, requiring the player to be strategic when it comes to the locations that the portals should be in. The game has a fixed storyline, that is told through the main Boss called GLaDOS.

The Last of Us: The Last of Us is a action/adventure game based on two characters called Joel and Ellie, two survivors of a zombie outbreak that happened across the USA. The game has a fixed storyline which is is told through scripted cutscenes and speech.

BioShock: BioShock is a first person shooter game that takes place in a city called Rapture, but now is a ruin. The game has a set storyline, that is revealed through audio logs and radio messages.

Half-Life 2: Half-life 2 is a sci fi first person shooter game that continues the story of Gordon Freeman, a scientist who fights against the Combine that have taken over Earth. The game has a set story, that is told through scripted sequences, dialogue, and cutscenes. The game's story is immersive and interactive, making the game interesting even though its a set story path.

Branching Narrative

A branching narrative is the opposite of a linear narrative in which the player can make decisions that can change the story. Depending on what decisions the player makes, the outcome changes (normally 7 times).

The positives of branching narratives are:

They offer a far greater control over the game, making the game more enjoyable and more interactive.

They make the game better to replay due to the multiple different variations that the game features, so its different each replay.

They allow the player to think for themselves, allowing their creativity to control the story rather than the game designer.

The negatives of branching narratives are:

They could sometimes create a story that doesn't have as much "depth" or detail as a game with a linear narrative.

It could cause the player to be confused due to the sheer amount of options that they could pick from (especially difficult for disabled people).

Here are a couple of games that feature a branching narrative:

Mass Effect: Mass Effect is a sci-fi game that focuses on the commander, Shepard. The player must save the galaxy from ancient machines called the Reapers. Due to the game featuring a large range of branching in its story, I have placed it in list part of the list.

The Walking Dead: The walking dead is a zombie game that follows the story of a character called Lee Everett. The main story of the game is for the character to protect a young girl named Clementine through the apocalypse. The game is mostly linear, but features a few branching narrative features, making it part of this list.

Detroit: Become Human: Detroit is a game that takes place in the future where androids (robots) are like humans. Due to the ability to branch from the story and create your own story in a way, I have included it on this list.

Until Dawn: Until Dawn is a horror game that follows a group of friends who are trapped in a cabin with a serial killer. Its a interesting game due to its horror mechanics and the ability to branch the story.

Non-linear Narrative

A non-linear narrative is a type of narrative that does not follow a order set by the developer. Non-linear narratives can include flashbacks, "flash-forwards", parallel stories, or multiple characters thoughts (or perspectives...). Non-Linear narratives allow the player to experience or "play" any part of the narrative at any point they would like. For example Minecraft allowing the character to either miss the boss entirely and just build, or speed run to defeat the boss. Other examples of games with non-linear narratives are Braid, The Stanley Parable, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This is one of my favourite out of the three as it gives me more control over my game.

The positives of non-linear narratives are:

It makes the game more enjoyable to play due to the fact that the story can branch off depending on what the player wants, making it more complex than other linear narrative games.

The game gives the player more creativity and curiosity, making the game more interesting to play each time.

The negatives of non-linear narratives are:

Games with this type of Narrative can not really have story's, as they can span so far from the story due to its creative aspects.

Most games with this type of Narrative also focus more on the mechanics and coding of the game, rather than the story.

Here are a couple of games that feature a non-linear narrative:

Minecraft: Minecraft is a sandbox game that allows players to explore, build, and survive in a near endless, randomly generated world. The game has no goals or storyline that the player has to follow, which lets players create their own stories through their actions and choices. Players could build up their buildings, or they can focus on fighting and defeating the two bosses in the game.

The Stanley Parable: The Stanley Parable game is a game that showcases what non-linear games could be and what they offer to games. The game follows the story of Stanley, an office worker who finds himself in a near endless life? The game has lots of different endings and places that the player can explore and mess around with, making it a very open game.

Braid: Braid is a puzzle game that allows the player to manipulate time, like my previous game. The game features a non-linear plot, allowing the player more control over the game (or changing themselves into a cat if they would like to).

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: The Witcher 3 is a fantasy game that includes a main character called Geralt of Rivia. The main characters aim is to find their lost daughter. Due to the game featuring multiple quests, characters and locations (that can be explored in any order), I believe this game is a non-linear narrative.

Sacrifice Chloe is the ending where the player forces Max's choice without listening to her, having her be Commander Shepard saving her favorite town on the Citadel. And we see afterward that it is not a beautiful death but instead rips Max apart. But the players often don't care because they already hated Max and hated Chloe and trust me, I've heard people state they sacrificed Chloe because they wanted to cause Max the maximum pain. How nice of them.

Sacrifice Arcadia Bay is the choice a teenage girl makes because she doesn't know that letting her best friend bleed out in a bathroom will do a lick of good and she loves her best friend as a lot more than just friends. She was told by her "I will support you whatever you choose" and she does just that, staying with Max, watching the town die, sheltering Max, keeping her safe, loving her. Saving Chloe is an act of love and for all the people who try to claim it's "unethical" I say you have never truly loved before.

Ultimately, if it were about saving the town, we'd have a third choice: Sacrifice Self, where Max intervenes and gets murdered by Nathan. And of course you just know that Nathan would blame Chloe and she'd get charged with murder and everything bad would happen but at least the town is saved. And I mean, does it matter if a horrible kidnapper remains to predate on women, if Kate Marsh ends up killing herself afterward without Max to save her, if Nathan and Jefferson walk free and continue to do horrible things to women if it truly is about the needs of the many? Oh wait, no one would choose that because saving Arcadia Bay is about making the player feel like a hero... and how heroic is it to die for a town that doesn't give a shit?

The entire conversation on the beach when Max emerges from her last time travel is glorious. Max and Chloe essentially say that they are meant to be together and nothing can keep them apart. Max explicitly says she doesn’t want a life without Chloe. How could they throw it all away after just a short walk uphill? That would be the biggest and quickest change of heart in history. Mind you, Max always says that, regardless of the player’s choices throughout the game.

[danseru-kun]

Cloti AUs/character swap ideas you might consider:

Uncharted AU: Cloud and Tifa as Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher. Zack can be Sam Drake whom Cloud thought to have died in a Shinra prison, Aerith can be Chloe and Cid can be Sully. Sephiroth can be an ancient spirit or whatever that Cloud awakens while treasure hunting.

Mass Effect AU: Tifa as Commander Shepard with tragic background, Cloud as Kaidan (migraines duh) or Garrus, Barret as David Anderson. Aerith can be Liara (possible romance too), and Cid and Shera as Joker and EDI. Sephiroth can be Saren or a war hero turned Reaper.

Detroit: Become Human AU: Tifa, Marlene and Barret as Kara, Alice and Luthor. Cloud can be Connor assigned to hunt them down. Sephiroth can be Amanda, manipulating Cloud and utilizing multiple clones. Cid can be Hank with all the depression, swearing and bad temper.

Hunger Games AU: Tifa as Katniss and Cloud as Peeta. Shinra is the Capitol/President Snow.

And many more.
