This journal explores the intersection of video games and literary discourse, analyzing how digital media adapt, remediate, and engage with classic and contemporary American narratives, literature, and cultural themes. It examines video games as cultural expressions that reflect and critique American national identity, the American Dream, and societal issues such as state violence and neoliberalism. The journal also investigates the influence of American popular culture and literature on video game design and the adaptation of literary works into interactive formats.
