Following the huge success of Howl’s Moving Castle in 2004, many people were surprised by the noticeably lower quality of Studio Ghibli’s next film.

Many games include cutscenes, but also offer stories woven into their environments. These stories might not be as dramatic as those in Half-Life, but observant players can uncover interesting details if they take the time to explore and pay attention to their surroundings, rather than rushing through the game.
