What happens when you adapt a literary classic into a game using only emoji? In this episode, we dive into The Unbearable Lightness of Meaning, a game inspired by Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being. We explore how this innovative adaptation uses emoji as its primary storytelling tool, pushing the boundaries of what these tiny symbols can express. Can emoji truly capture the depth of human emotions and complex themes, or do they fall short? We also discuss other creative projects that experiment with non-traditional storytelling methods, highlighting the challenges and opportunities of translating literature into interactive, playable experiences. Whether you're a literature lover, a gamer, or just curious about the future of storytelling, this episode will make you rethink the power of symbols in the digital age!
