The Difference between Narrative and Story

The words “Narrative” and “Story” are often used interchangeably, but they are not synonymous.

The Difference between Narrative and Story is part of a structuralist approach to game design and interactive storytelling currently being explored by the As If Collective. These principles are at the root of the “ScenePlay” narrative card game system, currently in playtesting. Join our Patreon Community to follow and contribute to this project.
