Keynote speaker: Nat Clayton

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

NarraScope 2023 was hosted at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY. All talks were streamed live via Discord. We will make recordings available on our Youtube channel as soon as possible!


NarraScope first took place in 2019, live at MIT. In 2020 and 2022, Narrascope was fully online (we skipped 2021). Starting in 2023 we embraced the hybrid lifestyle.

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.

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. The NarraScope History site lists everything we did over the past years.
