Abstract
Gamified storytelling is the application of typical aspects of games to a real-life narrative in order to drive engagement and increase awareness about issues in an appealing, interactive, and fun manner. For gamified storytelling to become effective a balance between keeping the audience engaged and conveying the message has to be maintained hence when constructed properly, a gamified story will mentally submerge the spectators into the virtual atmosphere, allowing them to have similar sensations and feelings as the inhabitants of the actual physical environment.
