Minecraft: Story Mode - A Narrative-Driven Action Game
Minecraft: Story Mode is an action-adventure game developed by TellTale Games for the Play Station 4 platform. The game is based on a narrative-driven episodic series that puts the importance of the player's choices forward.
The gameplay of Minecraft: Story Mode is similar to the point-and-click adventure genre. Players can talk with non-mandatory characters and choose dialogue options out of four or five alternatives. The game heavily focuses on quick-time events (QTE), where players must mash buttons in time with the pictograms depicted on the screen. At the end of each chapter, the player is presented with a choice diagram, where their choices are compared to those of other players worldwide.
The game is a TellTale adaptation of the original Minecraft video game, and as such, it includes a crafting mode essential to the original game. The title has become more friendly overall, contrasting with previous TellTale installments that mainly targeted mature audiences.
The story of Minecraft: Story Mode centers around Jesse, the protagonist, and the player, who travels around the in-game world in search of The Order of the Stone. The game's narrative is created from the start, and it is not a feature of the original game.
