ABOUT STRANGE DARK STORIES

Strange Dark Stories is an independent fan blog that explores video game culture, focusing on the content, the context, the subtext, the elements and the heroes of video games. In my articles, I cover several aspects of both contemporary and retro 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.
