Abstract :This article examines the use and classification of narrators and monstrators in video games. It explores the utilization of narrators and monstrators, their characteristics and classification, and their application in video games. The research framework, which draws upon narratology and cinema studies, served as a foundation for the subsequent analysis of Baldur’s Gate 3, Slay the Princess, and The Bard’s Tale games. This analysis employed a close reading technique, which entailed playing or watching gameplay videos. The study resulted in the categorization of narrators and monstrators in video games and an in-depth examination of their use in video games. The article proposes a novel perspective on narrators and monstrators in game studies, while concurrently furnishing a framework for the classification of these elements.
