The Story of Iris

A good story makes it easier to convey emotions. As humans, we are overwhelmed by omnipresent advertisements, nagging, and useless information that brings little to no value to our lives.

But the stories… The stories are what we like to hear. So we struggle to endure a two-hour company call, but we have no problem watching a three-hour movie avatar. A good, compelling story reaches our emotions, not the logic that binds us. We identify with the protagonist and despise the antagonist. We will go the distance and try to help our character win and defeat the enemy.

Stories help us understand and remember. Because of this, we remember a game we played 20 years ago like it was yesterday, and we forget a game we played a week ago just because it barely had a storyline. Stories make us curious about what’s next, and curiosity is a powerful motivator.
