This book explores video games as important cultural artifacts and
as sources of powerful, compelling storytelling. It begins by
considering the fundamental structures of video games-including
immersion and player agency-and deepens the exploration of such
elements by considering how each plays a role in storytelling. The
book moves from the theoretical to the practical by considering
numerous modern games and the stories they tell through careful,
considered analysis of each title's story. Games considered at
length include the Mass Effect series, BioShock, The Last of Us and
many more. The book also explores genres like the visual novel,
which are less frequently considered in video game study. What
emerges from this book, which appeals to academics, game
enthusiasts, and the general public, is the importance of
considering video games as serious and important sources of
storytelling exploring complex thematic subjects like identity,
morality, and the impact of player choice.
