Description

Metagames: Games about Games explores how meta devices like fourth-wall breaking and unreliable narrators function within interactive digital games. This Routledge scholarly work examines theoretical frameworks and case studies demonstrating how metafictional experimentation challenges conventional game design and player roles, whilst addressing profound topics including experiences of oppressed identities. Organised across six chapters, the book investigates the intersection of game theory and narrative innovation, offering insights into how games push their own boundaries as a medium and redefine player agency and participation in interactive experiences.

Key Features

Metagames analyses how meta devices transform when adapted to the interactive nature of digital games.

The book includes theoretical analyses and case studies exploring metafictional experimentation in gaming.

Routledge Advances in Game Studies series positions this work within established academic discourse on game design.

Examines how games challenge conventional definitions of what constitutes gameplay and player roles.

Addresses significant themes including representations of oppressed identities through game narratives and mechanics.
