SmartMonsters

The SmartMonsters Bookstore

 
SmartMonsters' games are not for everyone. We write for adults with fairly rich educational and cultural backgrounds. We assume our players like to read, and know how to type. We don't write for kids. If this sounds like you, welcome!

Click here to read our essay, "Can a Game be Literature?"

The works listed here have all been used in some way as background for TriadCity, our flagship game.

"The Aristotelian categories of beginning, middle and end, it turns out, are based on fixed texts. Think of all the arguments about coherence and perfection of artistic form that depend on these Aristotelian coordinates."
