Emily Short
freelance consultant in interactive narrative and dialogue systems, Oxford
Writing interactive stories of any emotional depth requires authors to think about consent and safety. These concerns are especially evident when we look at games with sexual content — where the player’s willingness to experience particular content, or a non-player character’s willingness to have sex with the protagonist, might be explicitly modeled. But even outside of sexual contexts, emotionally demanding or personally revealing interactive stories can require the player’s trust.
In this talk, Emily Short speaks about games that demand something unusual of the player, from drawing on the body to revealing personal information, and how they establish, build on, or betray this trust.
