Residents - Games

In gaming, 'Residents' often refers to non-player characters (NPCs) who inhabit a game world, serving as its living, breathing core. They populate towns, cities, or settlements, providing quests, lore, and a sense of place. Their routines, interactions, and reactions to player actions can make environments feel dynamic and authentic. Symbolically, residents represent community, daily life, and the impact of player choices on a world beyond the main narrative. From shopkeepers to bystanders, they are essential for immersion, turning static maps into believable spaces where stories unfold organically around the player's journey.
