in conclusion

Looking at narratives and mediums has opened up how a medium affects the story told. It is one thing to say that we know it's different to watch a movie than to read a book, but it's another thing to delve into exactly how the differences and similarities emerge. After exploring the stories found in Myst, Riven, Sandman, Ultima Online and MitterNachtSpiel I see that the four building blocks of narrative do differ from medium to medium (for reasons that have little to do with the mediums themselves) and that computational media does indeed change what a story is and can be.
