This book investigates the narrativity of some of the most popular
survival horror video games and the gender politics implicit in
their storyworlds. In a thorough analysis of the genre that draws
upon detailed comparisons with the mainstream action genre, Andrei
Nae places his analysis firmly within a political and social
context. In comparing survival horror games to the dominant game
design norms of the action genre, the author differentiates between
classical and postclassical survival horror games to show how the
former reject the norms of the action genre and deliver a critique
of the conservative gender politics of action games, while the
latter are more heterogeneous in terms of their game design and,
implicitly, gender politics. This book will appeal not only to
scholars working in game studies, but also to scholars of horror,
gender studies, popular culture, visual arts, genre studies and
narratology.
