To tell a story through gameplay.
"Just look at how much mileage a game like Hellblade can get when it puts the effort into telling so much of the story through its gameplay and since I've started to taste copper when I say that I'm just gonna call it "ludotography" from now on and pray that someday some poor etymologist has to source its origin from a sentence that ends with the word "cunt""

"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
