Scholar Links Indie Game The Longing to Medieval Time

Original: Last paper of # MAMG26 day one! Jéssica Iolanda Costa Bispo argues that the real-time temporality of The Longing (2020)

At the Middle Ages in Modern Games conference, researcher Jéssica Iolanda Costa Bispo presented the closing paper of the first day. She argued that The Longing (2020), a game that unfolds in real time over many hours, reflects medieval western ideas of temporality and meditation in a way few other games can. Attendees shared the talk online, drawing attention to the game's unusual slow pacing as a lens on medieval thought.

Why now: The Middle Ages in Modern Games conference is currently running, and new game studies research is being shared in real time.
