NYPLarcade is an opportunity to play, watch, and discuss independent, experimental, and thought-provoking games in a library setting. Think of it as a book club, but for video games. Our fall series will take place at Mid-Manhattan Library and focuses on games utilizing the first-person perspective.
Rather than examining the undeniably popular first person shooter genre (which includes well-known franchises such as BioShock, Call of Duty, and Halo), we will look at titles which draw inspiration from these games, but which primarily focus on exploration of a rendered, three-dimensional world.
All events listed below take place at Mid-Manhattan Library and begin at 6 p.m. A discussion of the game will follow, starting around 7 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.
