Footnotes

Traverse seven randomly generated levels littered with hundreds of folded footnotes from Metagaming, a book by by Patrick LeMieux (@alt254) and Stephanie Boluk (@chouxsalad)!

Metagaming is about the games we play with videogames. It's a book that encourages readers not only to play in, on, around, and through videogames but also to play the book itself. That's why there are a half dozen tiny games embedded within its pages.

Toward the end we write “reading this text, writing in the margins, dog-earing pages, and bending the spine or annotating online, sharing across servers, printing out passages, or loading on e-readers are all ways of metagaming Metagaming.” So what if you we made a game out of the book? What if you skipped the book and just read the footnotes?

Footnotes is a metagame that invites players to explore a series of seven randomly generated levels littered with hundreds of folded footnotes from Metagaming, available at http://staging.manifoldapp.org/projects/metagaming.
