Lucas Pope's games, relevant game mechanics

[Matthew Fallshaw]

Lucas Pope's games are interesting as a potential model for gamified reasoning challenges, especially "Papers, please".

I've played "Papers, please" somewhat - it's probably the best example of the concept of procedural rhetoric that I've seen so far. Not necessarily a game that I would call fun, though, even if it is definitely entertaining. :-)

In other news, I just met with my Master's thesis supervisor today, and basically had him approve The Fundamental Question as my thesis topic. (Or at least he approved this topic definition.) Now I'll have to actually start doing something about the game. :D
