I love stories. All kinds of stories. I'm so glad to live now when there are video games, which basically are stories that allow the reader to act inside it, shape it, be immersed in it. We're very lucky.
There are games out there with stories that touch me deeply. Stories that stay with me for a long time, perhaps even the rest of my life. I'm not sure if that is a good or a bad thing.
When I was s child, I remember my uncle telling me that stories are just stories. That they're supposed to be read and then forgotten. Ignored after. I remember believing him back then.
As I am older now, every time I read a story, play a great game, I feel a bit guilty for being so invested in it. The characters had become real, in a sense. Is it a bad thing?
What about you? Have you encountered stories that kept you thinking for a long time? That kept you invested? Did you like the feeling? Or was it something to be ashamed of?
