Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to propose a coherent definition of thephenomenon of ludonarrative dissonance based on the original blog postby Clint Hocking from 2007. In this paper I also discuss the difference be-tween ludonarrative dissonance and my new concept of metanarrative dis-sonance. I used selected video games to illustrate both phenomena. Thearticle serves as an introduction to further research on the impact of lu-donarrative and metanarrative dissonance on the reception of video games.
