This course is cross-listed with Digital Storytelling and Art-General
Video Games and Storytelling explores the interplay between game and story in video game media. Students will play and analyze video games, specifically those with strong narratives, and engage with broader theories in literary studies and interactive media. Students will also try their hand at creating their own video game narratives, using simplified open source software. Texts include video games themselves, as well as a selection of critical resources.
