GAME ANALYSIS
How I Think About Story in Games
Story Stack Analysis
This examination breaks down Dishonored 2 using the “Story Stack”, a method of defining core game components within a framework of flexibility, all with the intention of serving a core player fantasy. Here, I apply the Story Stack to Dishonored 2 and pitch three new story concepts that support the Player Fantasy, Player Actions, Economy, and World of the original game.
