Paper: The Game
CLICK HERE FOR GAME INSTRUCTIONS
Paper: The Game is a fully interactive visual novel-style video game that invites you, the user, to participate in an immersive and dynamic round-table conversation between five iconic Media Studies scholars about the medium of paper. Questions about the physicality, meaning, tactility, function, and other mediatic aspects of paper are discussed between the scholars, and with you as well. The diverse scholarly voices work collaboratively, offers a unique insight into paper, and allows the user to learn about paper and media studies in a very nontraditional way – offering insight into the importance of the medium.
Uniquely, the user has the ability to engage and help guide the conversation as the user gets to choose different dialogue options, respond to the scholars, and have the scholars also respond to you – at one point, you will even find yourself face-to-face with McLuhan himself!
