The writing life isn’t a game—except when it is.
The Novelist, an indie video game by Kent Hudson, lets you play at being a author without having to put pen to paper…though the game doesn’t seem too much easier than the real thing:
…you’re presented with the same fundamental question in nine different ways over the course of the game, that you start to learn about your own values. And by the end… maybe your guy has written the greatest book ever but his wife left him and his kid is getting in trouble at school at the time.
