Are there any books with a similar plot and characters ?
>>23330274Lolita
>>23330274Alice in Wonderland you nonce
>>23330274Berlin Alexanderplatz
what is this about?
>>23330574As far as I can tell, it's video games' first attempt at modernism. Nonlinearity, unreliable narrator, heavy use of intertextuality and all that jazz. At the very least it's the only video game I know of to even attempt to use stream of consciousness. And it even hides one of the stream of consciousness segments behind an in-game cypher.Not particularly outstanding when it comes to prose or thematic/psychological depth, but it's structurally very interesting. Think of it as the video game equivalent of House of Leaves or BotNS.
>>23330664>As far as I can tell, it's video games' first attempt at modernism.What about like, killer7 or Higurashi or whatever. It seems like games were attempting this 20 years ago.
>>23330678Haven't played killer7 yet. Higurashi, Umineko and Subahibi are pure visual novels without any gameplay segments, making them closer to books than video games.
>>23330689Ah right well fair. I think Suda's earlier games are similar but I've not touched them.
>>23330274The Book of the New Sun.
>>23330689>Haven't played killer7 yetPlay it, it fits your description better. If I were to compare BSII to something I'd say it felt more like a greek tragedy, especially everything surrounding the tea party.
