Étiqueté : video game

Tales from the Crypt #24 (1951) and Dreadful Stories

What Remains of EC Comics

What Remains of Edith Finch (2017) is a celebrated and ambitious narrative game about family memories, which has been likened to weird fiction (Gaiman, Mieville, etc.) and to magical realism (García Márquez, etc.). It also serves as a celebration of the affordances of videogames, and their ability to remediate previously existing media. In this article, I’d like to focus on one of these remediated items, a horror comic book, and what it can tell us both about the game and about the cultural memories of evokes.
