Interesting… As much as I appreciate the idea that stories exist only as a dialogue between teller and listener, a story will always stand as it’s own entity. Consider for example the problem concerning the ship of Theseus. As components of the ship are successively replaced, how long does it continue to retain its “identity”? Likewise, the shape of a story is unbound. But how many liberties can we as listeners take until it is no longer the same story? Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy by identity and if I re imagined a happy ending to the story, most would agree I would not have understood Romeo and Juliet, rather than my own interpretation of it.

This asks really interesting questions about narrative. I spend a lot of time thinking about stories and how they work – not just how they’re built but how they perform rhetorical functions. Like, as gamers, we’ve been trained to expect the sort of ending this game subverts, and it’s interesting to consider that. Stories we’ve been told – silly stories, about plumbers and ninja turtles and dragons and suchlike – have conditioned our real, physical bodies in perduring ways. It may not have been substantial, but it does subtly determine – in the weak sense of “adding to an inventory of satisfactory possibilities” – what our concept of “ending” can be. Every other sort of story, I think, from movies to older ones like La Morte d’Arthur and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, have also done this work, and it’s fun and useful to consider how, in that sense, games have entered the cultural canon. This is a really interesting and fun entry in said canon! Is “postmodern game” a genre that’s been suggested? I mean, a term that would encompass games like this that take as a core mechanic questioning core mechanics. I’m really not up on the Gama Sutra-style longform contemplation of gaming as a genre, but if not, let’s make it so!
