Possible methodologies: Gamification, ludology, storytelling methodology, narratology.
My topic for my dissertation is literary gamification. More specifically, I want to focus on blockbuster video games that are based on books. In my dissertation, I am going to analyze
the video game narrative compared to its book version.
The initial video games that I have chosen are ‘The Witcher’ series and ‘I have no mouth, and I must scream.’ I picked all those games for their different approaches toward the mediation of the plot structure from the books they are based on. The Witcher game series continues the plot that the books have ended on, showcasing The Witcher video game as a continuation of the series. I have no mouth, and I must scream was based on a
novel of the same name by Harlan Ellison, originally published in 1967. Ellison was directly involved in the game’s production recreating the elements that made the source material great
in the video game. The plan for this dissertation is to analyze all
those games on the bases of their narrative style compared to the narrative given in the books. The idea needs narrowing down. But the point is to analyze the story telling and narrative of video games to books based on them.
There might be more games added if necessary like Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor and Hogwarts Legacy.
