Art Game
10 Following

Go To

This is a Video Game with an artistic message, when the people with creative control are using the medium of game as a means of expression.

While all games set out to create an experience in some way, these are probably going to be avant-garde about it. They are commonly story-rich and very stylized, and will often wrestle with deep themes or commentary about ethical dilemmas, or society, or other similarly heavy subject matter. While in many cases the actual gameplay experience is minimal, others are just as developed gameplay-wise as more typical games (some can even be quite difficult), it's just that the story or visuals or themes are played up more and are commonly considered to be at least as important as the gameplay to the overall experience.

Note that the term "art game" isn't really a "genre" as such, as the games listed below encompass everything from puzzle games to third-person shooters. It's more of a blanket term for games that are commonly seen to have artistic qualities, or whose developers are perceived to have taken a highly artistic approach to game design.

Examples:

Alternative Title(s): Arthouse Game
