Game Over. End of Story.
Digital games may be the next major storytelling form, following media like theater, the novel, opera, radio, cinema, and television. But the intersection of narrative and interactivity remains an open question. This Module examines how games are expanding notions of narrative - and vice versa. Possible topics for discussion include:
- new kinds of storytelling that games make possible
- is every game a story or every story a game?
- interactivity vs. narrative
- psychological qualities of game stories
- character and narrative representation in games
- games and other storytelling media (literature, comix, film, hypertext, etc.)
- the pulp-centric culture of game narratives
