Metagames

From Mmswiki

Metagames are games that transcend their playing field, elements and rules, or challenge the player for critical reflection, communicative or interpretative re-propriation and expression. Methods to achieve this may be:

• Transmediality [1] - opening up the form for transfer or integration into a medium, so the game itself can be used to produce comics, videos, different games, written stories etc.

• Unusability [2] - disorienting, irritating or shocking the player to break his reliance and belief in a set of all-benevolent fair rules.
