TBDNE: The Video Game

I learned how to use a computer by first playing text and then point-and-click adventure games, e.g. King’s Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, Maniac Mansion… I’ve always believed there was a touch of those games in TBDNE, given the puzzle-like nature of the plot and the literal quest of my surrogate. In a perfect world, I would actually be spending some time right now developing the novel into a game for iOS.

I was of course compelled to tap the “Read Later” button on my phone then when I came across a post on famous books that should really be video games in the Twitter feed of the great high brow video game mag / blog Kill Screen.
