Environmental Storytelling in Games: Example #3

Foreshadowing a boss: A great example of foreshadowing a boss can be found in the level "Black Lake Lodge" in the game Condemned 2. When playing this level, during the approach of lodge, the player encounters multiple torn up corpses. As the player closes the distance to the lodge, the bodies become more frequent and other signs start pointing towards something huge that is on a rampage. Upon entering the building the player is alerted of a presence by hearing a roar from the floor above. Heavy footsteps shake the house and create dust clouds originating from the floorboards above. Suddenly a heavy thud is more than audible behind the player....

Environmental Storytelling in Games: Example #2

Creating sense of oppression or suppression: Half-Life 2 uses many different ways to evoke a sense of suppression: there is a totalitarian police force that tortures people behind (not so) closed doors and propaganda is spewed through big television screens and posters. Security cameras, barbed wire fences and overall dirtiness are all factors that create an environment where even the player feels oppressed.

Environmental Storytelling in Games: Example #1

Player conditioning: In the game Half-Life 2 there is a contraption that that the player can use to kill enemies. When the player first encounters this contraption, it is spinning and slices through a couple of enemies. At a later point the player encounters this contraption again, but this time a part has come loose and it is turned off. The player, by now, knows what this contraption does and how it should look because the player is conditioned and the player is able to use this knowledge to repair and use it to his or her advantage.
