Join hosts Kristian Lander and Caroline McKendrick Gibson on Seriously Strange as we dive into the eerie world of supernatural horror game design with Dr. Andrew Wedgbury (aka Dr. Wedge), a game design lecturer, hauntologist, and researcher. In this episode, we explore how interactive games can recreate haunted environments for scientific curiosity or thrilling experiences. Dr. Wedge shares insights on crafting digital spaces that evoke the paranormal, drawing on his expertise in anthropology and hauntology.
Explore how ghostly "memes" like Slenderman remain "alive" through retellings and sharing, preserving intangible cultural heritage in digital spaces. This episode includes exclusive conversation clips and a Q&A usually reserved for ASSAP members.
From eerie environments to spine-chilling mechanics, discover the art of fear. #HorrorGames #UrbanWyrd #GameDesign #SupernaturalGaming #DrWedge
