GameStudiously: The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and Aarseth's Cybertext
In another long overdue video, I take a look at The Vanishing of Ethan Carter by introducing it to Espen Aarseth's Cybertext, a literary criticism text that introduces a) the cybertext perspective and b) the notion of ergodic literature.
Let us all celebrate a GameStudiously episode that does not pursue a literary analysis of BioShock Infinite. Diversity!
