Description
In this course students will read literary texts and play narrative-focused video games in order that these works--and these media more generally--might illuminate one another. What can literary texts do that video games can't, and vice-versa? What are the promises, benefits, and liabilities of interactivity and player agency in video games? Before registering for this course, students must have completed ENGL 2090 and ENGL 3850 or receive the instructor's written permission.
