WHAT IS NARRASCOPE?

NarraScope is an event that supports interactive narrative, adventure games, and interactive fiction by bringing together writers, developers, and players.

NarraScope 2025 will be hosted at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. All talks will be streamed live via Discord. We will make recordings available on our YouTube channel as soon as possible!

Subjects vary from interactive fiction tools to writing best practices and everything in between. Previous talks had titles like “Choosing Your Happily Ever After”, “Shaping Your Story with Emotional Intelligence” and “Adapting Film’s Techniques for Nonlinear Stories”, to give you a bit of an idea.

Our conference aims to be a place for everyone interested in narrative games to hang out, exchange ideas and get inspired. We do this through a broad selection of talks, keynote speakers, discussions and workshops.

NarraScope celebrates the diverse voices of game design. We aim to create a safe, welcoming, and accountable space for all participants.
