#Episodic Story

This type of a story is told in a style that separates events and organizes them in an episodic structure. Each episode has its own flow, build-up and climax. Sometimes games featuring this structure take it to the next step and add opening, ending and next episode trailers to each episode giving it a total TV Series feel. This is a bonus though, not a necessity to have this tag.
