On this edition of The Instruction Booklet, the Instructors are discussing the history of narratives in video games!
Joining them is their first guest - Adam Pickens (a PhD candidate of Irish Literature) - together the trio break down the origin of storytelling in gaming, it's evolution over the years, & how strong narratives have helped legitimize games as an artform.
