Talk: The Midnight Walk: Spiritual Exploration Through Narrative Design
Most game narratives are pretty straightforward, designed to guide players and give them a clear idea of what's going on and what their purpose is.
This talk explores the delicate balance between giving players the information they need to play and leaving space for discovery, ambiguity, and personal meaning, as well as the spiritual approach we took when writing The Midnight Walk.
