In this online workshop, multimedia artist and game designer Stella Jacob explores how digital games can go beyond pure entertainment. Participants will discover how games can serve as micro-worlds to experiment with ideas like power, justice, and community. Through rules and mechanics, games reflect, question, or critique social structuresâexamining who holds power, how decisions are made, and how inequality operates. Using accessible tools like Twine, Bitsy, Godot, and Decker, attendees will create their own experimental games and interactive storytelling systems. The workshop is open to anyone interested in games, storytelling, digital design, or exploring how technology can challenge and reimagine social models.
