NARRATIVE MECHANICS - STRATEGIES AND MEANINGS I...

What do stories in games have in common with political narratives? This book identifies
narrative strategies as mechanisms for meaning and manipulation in games and real life. It
shows that the narrative mechanics so clearly identifiable in games are increasingly used (and
abused) in politics and social life. They have »many faces«  displays and interfaces. They
occur as texts  recipes  stories  dramas in three acts  movies  videos  tweets  journeys of
heroes  but also as rewarding stories in games and as narratives in society - such as a career
from rags to riches  the concept of modernity or market economy. Below their surface  however 
narrative mechanics are a particular type of motivational design - of game mechanics.
