Forte di una base d’utenza e un fatturato smisurati, il videogioco si conferma essere uno dei linguaggi principali della contemporaneità. Le sue specificità grammaticali, come l’interattività opportunamente definita, il rapporto tra game e play, la dicotomia ormai risolta tra analisi ludologica e narratologica, ci permettono di riflettere sulle forme della narrazione interattiva e, per contrasto, sulla narrazione tradizionale, sul rapporto tra significante e significato, tra autore, opera e fruitore.
