Videogames - too fun for their own good?
[ 2017-03-30 12:16:09 CET ] [ Original post ]
A sneezing engineer was more than enough to keep the audience spellbound during the early days of film. But soon, filmmakers had to add the element of storytelling, in order to keep the viewers' attention.
As a medium, videogames are getting along just fine by relying on fun gameplay. But is it time to disassemble games and start building them with a focus on storytelling, as well as gameplay?

- Machine for Pigs Linux [63.78 M]
This world is a Machine. A Machine for Pigs. Fit only for the slaughtering of Pigs.
From the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Dear Esther comes a new first-person horrorgame that will drag you to the depths of greed, power and madness. It will bury its snout into your ribs and it will eat your heart.
The year is 1899
Wealthy industrialist Oswald Mandus awakes in his bed, wracked with fever and haunted by dreams of a dark and hellish engine. Tortured by visions of a disastrous expedition to Mexico, broken on the failing dreams of an industrial utopia, wracked with guilt and tropical disease, he wakes into a nightmare. The house is silent, the ground beneath him shaking at the will of some infernal machine: all he knows is that his children are in grave peril, and it is up to him to save them.
