Or there are games that seem bereft of human presence, like Lushfoil Photography Sim, and tell a story about absence as much as presence.
Games like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture or Firewatch create a world of relationships connected to a particular place and time that strongly evoke both memory and story. Others, like Paradise Marsh and Proteus, invite us into a space that is both grounded and mystical with insects taking to the stars or our presence causing the cosmos to shift. Some games, like Alba, A Wildlife Adventure, weave narrative through the state of the island and its animal inhabitants. But the worlds in which we play these games are often as dense and rich with story as any other aspect of the experience. Often we think about video game narrative as what characters and narrators tell us.
