Delicious Pixels: Food in Video Games introduces critical food studies to game scholarship showing the unique ways in which food is utilized in both video game gameplay and narrative to show that food is never just food but rather a complex means of communication and meaning-making. It aims at bringing the academic attention to digital food and to show how significant it became in the recent decades as on the one hand a world-building device and on the other a crucial link between the in-game and out-of-game identities and experiences. This is done by examining specifically the examples of games in which food serves as the means of creating an intimate cozy and safe world and a close relationship between the players and the characters.
