At the Middle Ages in Modern Games conference, day one closed with a paper by Jéssica Iolanda Costa Bispo arguing that The Longing (2020), with its unusual real-time temporality, reflects medieval Western notions of time and meditation in a way few games can. Delegates shared the presentation online, highlighting it as a standout from the opening day.
