520 |a Incontestably, Future Narratives are most conspicuous in video games: they combine narrative with the major element of all games: agency. The persons who perceive these narratives are not simply readers or spectators but active agents with a range of choices at their disposal that will influence the very narrative they are experiencing: they are players.

Surveying the latest trends in the field, the volume discusses the complex relationship of narrative and gameplay.
