Length: 750 words (3 pages maximum)
Instructions: please choose one (1) of the following two options for your Case Study
Option A: In our readings and discussion of the articles by Marie-Laure Ryan and Henry Jenkins, we have examined a number of arguments that these authors use to persuade us that narrative should be considered an essential feature of videogames and to highlight the unique features and design practices that make videogames an expansive medium for storytelling.
In the context of these arguments, please select a game example of your own and write a brief case study discussing how your chosen game corresponds to (and/or problematizes) one or more key points made by either author with respect to narrative and storytelling in videogames. Focus on one (1) idea or argument within one (1) of the 2 articles (Ryan or Jenkins) and carefully analyze the mode(s) and features of storytelling in your example by reference to the author’s argument. *A reminder that you may NOT write about a game that has already been discussed in the reading or in our class lectures/discussions — you must choose an original example of your own.
