Also, let’s not draw too bright a line. I loved Polaris, it’s one of my all time favorite game experiences. I loved Grey Ranks, it’s one of my all time favorite game experiences.

Both are non stop punches to the feels.

But both are also very much games about characters doing things. Neither relies on nor encourages internal monologues.

Both are full of highly visual imagery, of the sort well suited for game-as-show imagery.

As are, btw, all of the Jane Austen books I’m familiar with…as evidenced by the number of movies they’ve been made into…and even zombified.

When I threw out “literary” earlier I was envisioning more Joyce or Sinclair.

I will not be buying Ulysses the RPG.
