ABOUT STRANGE DARK STORIES

Strange Dark Stories is an independant fan blog that focuses on video games, their content, their context, their subtext, their elements and their heroes. In my articles, I cover several aspects of both contemporary and older video games, examine their influence to and from art and culture, analyze their characters and stories and showcase interesting elements of their plots that go beyond the level of gaming. As the majority of the content in this blog requires significant research, sometimes there may be a delay between articles.
