Emotions. Feelings. Humanity. Sensations. Ideas. David Cage is a staunch advocate of video games as an expressive medium, and from the beginning of his career, he has sought to imbue his titles with such concepts, to capture his passion so that others may feel it as he does. Has he succeeded?

This book is a study not only of David Cage but of video games in general; a guide that attempts to delve into their mechanics, their language, and that tries to unpack the way of understanding this medium and the narrative aspirations of one of the leading names in this new industry. How can a video game convey an emotion? How does it tell a story, and what can it learn from film? And above all... what is a mechanic?

Perhaps you can find the answer within these pages and continue asking yourself new questions each time you encounter a new video game. Just like David Cage.
