Narrator
Narrators, or voice-overs play a vital role in directing players, providing context, and enhancing the overall narrative flow of the game. Whether it's an introductory message or a helpful hint, the narrator serves as a valuable tool for player guidance.
Typically, the Narrator component (Component) can be attached to an object or an empty area.
