Description/Abstract:

This brief piece is a discussion of the haunting qualities of the videogame medium, incorporating the ghostly entities of early arcade titles, the abandoned labyrinthine spaces of contemporary walking simulators, the often-spectral presence of players within game environments, the uncanny nature of videogame technologies and digital animation, glitching, game nostalgia, and the way games experiences haunt everyday life.
