In an industry often dominated by overt narratives and cinematic cutscenes, some titles quietly weave deep, intricate stories through environmental cues, character interactions, and understated dialogue. Which game do you believe best exemplifies this approach to storytelling?

Journey. Its wordless narrative, conveyed through evocative visuals, environmental cues, and player interaction, creates a profound and emotionally resonant experience, leaving a lasting impact without explicit dialogue.

In my view, ‘Inside’ masterfully uses environmental cues, sound design, and visual symbolism to tell a story that remains open to interpretation. This subtle approach leaves a lasting impression that invites personal reflection.

Among all the games Dark Souls stands out as the ideal example of minimalist storytelling techniques. The narrative of this game blends perfectly into environmental elements. The game's plot needs players to observe and interpret every element as they discover the story which results in an immersive encounter.
