Stories That Can't Be Told Linearly

Nonlinear narratives are stories that you can't fully understand by consuming normally - simply going through from start to end doesn't work. In this video I describe five different types of such narratives, what their advantages are, where they show up, and stories that can only be told by using them. Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 0:55 Branching Narratives 11:43 Looping Narratives 16:36 Meta-Narratives 26:12 Recursive Meta-Narratives 35:50 Combinatorial Narratives 39:02 Using All Five Together 43:06 Outro Combinatorial videos: 1 -    • 1   2 -    • 2   3 -    • 3   4 -    • 4   5 -    • 5   6 -    • 6   7 -    • 7   8 -    • 8   9 -    • 9   0 -    • 0   As ol' Thaidakar once said, "There's always another secret" In this case said secret can be found in the Combinatorial section.
