STORY-TELLING is a spoken tradition, where people repeat tales once told to them.
The narrator usually focuses on a tightly-held structure; stories taking place in one location with a clear beginning and end, as seen from the protagonist’s viewpoint.
This is the same structure we see in many stories today, even those told in video games.
The original God of War reboot did this too, as it tells the story of Kratos, in one long single take.
It mimics the tradition of ancient Greek story-telling, but this structure has its own issues.
