Return to the Interactive Past
A defining fixture of our contemporary world, video games offer a rich spectrum of engagements with the past. Games educate, bring enjoyment, and encourage reflection. Beyond a source of entertainment, video games are cultural expressions that support and influence social interactions.
Histories, ranging from the personal to the global, are reinterpreted and retold for broad audiences in playful, digital experiences. They are intricate achievements of coding and creative works of art. The medium also magnifies our already complicated and confrontational relation with the past, for instance through its overreliance on violent and discriminatory game mechanics.
This book continues an interdisciplinary conversation on game development and play, working towards a better understanding of how we represent and experience the past in the present.Return to the Interactive Past
