Tuesday 11th October sees Overlap’s second live outing, as we discuss narrative and choice in videogames with a session mysteriously entitled The Secret Agent. Guest host Russ Stearman will take us on a meander through point-and-click adventures, spy thrillers and movie dilemmas in search of what level of freedom games really give us. Russ gives a brief introduction to his talk on the Overlap blog.
It takes place at Brezza, Sheffield and kicks off at 7:30pm. Oh, and it’s free. You can reserve your place on the Overlap site.
Overlap investigates new and forgotten storytelling, covering everything from the SMS gaming to nineteenth century episodic fiction. We’re currently running a pilot season of events in Sheffield, UK as well as our blog.
