What happens when storytelling meets gameplay?

What is Ludonarrative?

“Ludonarrative” is the point where ludic (gameplay, mechanics) meets narrative (story, character). It’s the magic that happens when storytelling and interactivity blend seamlessly. Transforming a game from simply entertaining to truly unforgettable.
