I consider Patchwork girl and Entre Ville both very boring
works of E-lit. Patchwork girl was just to confusing for me and I got lost in
class. This could also just be because I don’t like Frankenstein that much
either. Entre Ville felt like a weird, French, walkthrough of a house. I didn’t
understand the videos an it felt like some weird new age art piece, even though
it’s not necessarily new anymore. I tend to like more game like works of e-lit,
or at least some clarity regarding structure and purpose. If the purpose of the
piece lies withing the structure, make it clear.
Red riding hood was much more fun for me and easier to get
through. I liked how it was playable and allowed the reader to alter things, or
at least gave us the illusion of alteration. The story wasn’t really easy to
follow but that was due to the narrative itself, I wouldn’t have understood the
story even if it was written out. It seems like some kind of unfortunate example
of sexual misconduct. I didn’t really know. But what I can easily conclude from
these works is that I enjoy a more game like story more than an edgy, mix of
visuals and text. Also I loved the little beats in red riding hood, the audio
helped set the vibe from the very beginning.
I do agree that Patchwork Girl was confusing which was one of the reasons for me on why it was hard to read. I agree with you that Red Riding Hood was the e-lit story I enjoyed the most because it was interactive
