Spacial Story Telling

Spacial story telling is the art of telling a story by using the environment around the game to lead you imagination to create a more unique story to follow the game that you are playing, this is important in games in my opinion as it allows you to be more engaged with the game on a personal level and it also helps make the game more alive, games such as Call Of Duty rely heavily on story telling through forceful means that you dont have time to stop and take in the games atmosphere but with a game such as Firewatch you really get the chance extract the scenery and become more attached to the game through its visual story telling. The new BioShock Infinate game has constant hints during the game through the propaganda poster on the walls in the game and with a keen eye and a sharp mind you could figure out the story plot just with the surroundings and this is a great way of visual  story telling. Some techniques that are involved could be making the camera angle low so it makes everything look larger in scale giving you a small perspective and making it higher would give the opposite effect of everything else is smaller and you are colossal. Hidden Easter eggs is another fun way to add more atmospheric depth to the game while getting some added achievement of finding such Easter eggs however its not always story telling either.
