|---|---|
| Fragmented Narrative | A story told indirectly, in scattered pieces throughout the environment, dialogues, or hidden objects. Often cryptic, it requires the player to piece together the narrative on their own. |
| Branching Endings | The choices made throughout the game influence the ending, the player does not have the final decision on it. |
| Selectable Ending | The player selects the ending only at the final action or in the last chapter of the story, with no impact from previous choices. |
| Choice Matters | Player choices have a real impact on the story, gameplay, or character relationships. Decisions can alter events, lead to different endings, or influence the game world. |
| Illusion of Choice | The game gives the illusion that choices matter, but the story remains largely linear. No matter the decision, the narrative follows a predetermined path with little to no real consequences. |
