As a PhD student at Wayne State University, my research centers on video games, particularly examining the narrative techniques employed FromSoftware. I explore how these games weave complex, often cryptic narratives that engage players on multiple, encouraging them to piece together stories through gameplay and environmental storytelling. Titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne exemplify how lore and narrative intricacies can enhance the gaming experience, inviting to immerse themselves in rich, layered worlds. Through my work, I aim to highlight the significance of narrative in shaping player engagement and the overall impact of game storytelling in the industry.
