DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

Karyn Kusama USA

Her film 'Destroyer' explores fragmented identity and psychological landscapes with visual techniques reminiscent of game-like narrative structures and digital aesthetics.

His works use immersive, layered worlds with puzzle-like narratives and player-agency themes that mirror interactive storytelling found in complex video games.

Denis Villeneuve Canada

His sci-fi films employ strategic puzzle-solving, multiple realities, and procedural logic that echo video game mechanics and world-building complexity.
