As games become increasingly sophisticated in their world-building and storytelling, how can we start to approach and appreciate them as literary and artistic works? How does approaching literature as games open possibilities for writing and creative expression?

In this talk, wordsmith Daryl Lim explores how games and concepts of play have inspired literary expression and generated texts and experimental work, such as the work of the Oulipo movement, choose-your-own-adventure stories, and crossword puzzles. Daryl will unpack how technology has been creatively used to further the boundaries of games as literature and how seeing video games as literature broadens our sense of literary possibility.
