BETWEEN GAME AND STORY: MIMETIC STRUCTURES IN COMPUTER GAMES

Moritz Hillmayer



 

The question of the connection between narrative and agency of the players in modern computer games is one of the founding challenges of game studies, where even hybrid approaches often fail. Moritz Hillmayer does not try to eliminate the separation between the two poles game and story, but uses their difference as a basis for his analyses. Based on the concept of mimesis, which has been discussed since antiquity, he presents a perspective on computer games that focuses on both the differences between the two aspects and their interaction.
