From Game Maker's Toolkit on Her Story
What was said about Her Story
Her Story's clips change meaning when paired, so out-of-order play escalates revelations. Players search a police database and get seconds-long interview clips in any order. The full picture only emerges once the facts from different clips are combined.
Game Maker's Toolkit holds this up as the alternative to Halo 3: ODST, whose flashbacks rarely interlock. ODST explains Romeo's injury in Kikowani Station only in the earlier NMPD HQ mission. The source suggests such interlocking clues need very creative writing. Quote: "Information you hear in one clip changes meaning, when paired up with the context of another clip".
The Tragedy of Halo 3: ODST
Hands you seconds-long clips through search queries in any order, yet each clip changes meaning when paired with another. It is held up as the alternative to ODST's rarely interlocking flashbacks.
