Storytelling Format

So, I have played a lot of video games, and there are certain games that I find quite interesting. That is the Dark Souls series. In those games, instead of telling the story using cutscenes, they use item descriptions. With that in mind, I want to tell a similar story, but instead of using item descriptions, I use news as a way to tell the story. Will this format works? Do you think it's easy for the audience to understand?
