Emergency Blip?
Or waiting for work to be finished?
Been working hard on my thesis today. I had a cunning plan and am writing about The Walking Dead videogame. I like this game, which is all about moral decisions and relationships, rather than shooting-although there are bits like that too.
I think that The Walking Dead qualifies as a game in the traditional sense, part of the evolution of narrative, an experiment in narrative delivery that involves each and every of Juul's classic game model, a theory predicated on 5000 years of playing games.
If this is the case, then all doubt regarding the status of narrative in videogames Is removed. Despite the lack of game tropes, the competitive elements that are important in other videogames, and the strongly developed narrativeThe Walking Dead is a game, as defined by Juul, a leading detractor of videogame narratives who refutes its presence.
Sorry, I do go on....
