Get the Summary of Trevor Strunk's Ph.D Story Mode in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: Once considered niche, fringe, and the hobby of only outsiders or loners, video games have rapidly become one of the most popular and influential artistic forms of this century. Their imagery is near ubiquitous—children, adults, and even professional athletes know what a Fortnite dance is without having played the game, and every conversation about violence in media eventually turns toward Grand Theft Auto. We’ve reached a point where, through streaming platforms like Twitch, games don’t even need to be played to be enjoyed, as whole robust communities form around watching others play. Games have grown into more than just products; they’re touchstones, meaning that they’ve become popular enough for something radical to have happened: even while culture shapes our games, games have simultaneously begun shaping our culture.

#4
The horror genre in games reflects the fears of its player base, and those fears change as the games themselves change. It's a pure expression of the sort of creator-audience feedback loop we see more and more of in this medium.
#5
Survival horror, which made its debut in the early 1980s, added a new layer of fear to video games by making the player feel as though they were actually in danger.

The real test of expression in these games isn’t when the player is experiencing them, but when the player looks back on them years later and compares them to their original impressions of the game.
#7
The feeling of being alone in a dark, unfamiliar place is a powerful source of horror, and video games are able to
