Select one example to outline the key concepts of the interactive narrative genre?

One example that has an interactive narrative, which in this case is a game, beyond two souls, the key concepts of this game and its interactive narrative genre, Beyond two souls first came on the PS3, this was the follow up from multiple game of the year awards for its ground breaking interactive narrative. To some people “Interactive storytelling” can be a bit of a dilemma, the interactive part of the game is done through storytelling and it is about uncovering a character through multiple choices put in your way.

Therefore the story is mainly done as a structure, a non-linear structure so that you are not always going done a set path so it is often structured  to put the person through different scenarios and almost force them to become someone that they might not be, and that might be because of the decisions that you might make in the game and that can often be at times a representation of the of the player playing the game, so in some cases its like you have given your personality to the character and a lot of people might enjoy doing the game because they how the player may fair if they were put into the game universe. Some games for example in the Dragon Age franchise the game gives players the ability to choose how the characters mortality be in the game and have different mortality affects how the game is played and sometimes so the core gameplay at times and this might get the attention of people that not played dragon age games and try and bring that player base into a new game that they might not have played but might enjoy playing because of the different scenarios that your character might be in.

Structure for Narrative

Does the interactive narrative still have a role to play in video games today? Give exemplary examples?

The interactive narrative does in fact still have a role to play in the video game industry, in fact it has a huge role as there have been games that have taken this interactive narrative and implemented it as a main game play mechanic and most of these games are well done and have won multiple game of the year awards for example: Beyond Two Souls, The Walking Dead (Telltale Games), Heavy Rain, Until Dawn, The Wolf Amongst Us and Remember Me. These games are extremely popular, and they still have a big impact upon the game industry, and I do not see them going any time soon as they type of games are becoming more and more popular, therefore the type of games will still be relevant to this day, As these games have set the pinnacle for interactive narrative games and they give inspiration to the game industry so developers can make really good  games, for there is this game that been the making for a while, Detroit Become Human and it seems like that game has a very intensive interactive narrative.
