Description - Herewith the Clues by Boy Vereecken
An investigation of the Crime Dossiers, a form of literature as mystery game- an entirely new manifestation of gamified literature-developed in the interwar period."An intricate web of envy, desire and aspiration," Herewith the Clues is a jaunt through the history of the Crime Dossiers, a form of literature as mystery game-developed in the interwar period-where players solved puzzles much in the way that a detective in the 1920s might have solved a crime using forensics. These mass-produced games came in the form of binders, books, suitcases, or boxes containing crime-scene evidence (and literary red herrings), each piece of evidence itself a kind of riddle. One could see these as not only an entirely new manifestation of gamified literature, but game playing itself evolving- storytelling as a riddle-solving game acted in the flesh, rather than existing solely in the minds of author and reader.
