What is surrealism in video games? Is it the subversion of expository traditions through ludic conventions? Is it the perversion of ludic conventions for expository effect? Is it a five-act dog opera? We’ll discuss the meaning of Oikospiel, the means of production, and maybe even video games through Discord voice chat (or probably Skype) at 8:30pm EDT / 5:30pm PDT.

Supplemental Material:

• The Oikospiel Box Office, where a ticket can be purchased for the game.
• “Oikospiel Is A Surreal Game About Work And Play From The Composer Of Proteus” by Ethan Gach (Kotaku)
