Game Studies
Game studies is the academic field that looks at games and how they work, how people play them, and what they mean.
It studies things like rules, player behavior, decisions, and how games affect players and culture.
This discipline helps us understand games not just as entertainment but as systems that can reflect real ideas and experiences through both their storytelling and gameplay.
An example of story telling through text boxes from the game Hollow Knight.
Digital Humanities
Digital Humanities is a field that studies how computers and digital tools can help us explore human culture and experience.
Instead of only reading books or writing essays, Digital Humanities uses things like data analysis, digital archives, and interactive media to ask questions about history, language, art, and society.
In this way, it connects technology with traditional humanities ideas to help us understand people and meaning in new ways.
