Description
[edit]The field of game studies as it relates to video games approaches the medium from two different directions: ludology focuses on the game mechanics, rules, and interactive elements, while narratology is centered on the game's storytelling aspects.[1]
Video game designer and onetime Ubisoft creative director Clint Hocking coined the term ludonarrative dissonance in October 2007 on his personal blog.[2] Hocking used the term in a review of the video game BioShock, in which the ludic structure of the game seemed in opposition with the themes emphasized by the overarching narrative.
