Why explore the world of arts games?

Electricka and her muses maintain that there is a natural synergy between the arts and gaming. How can this be?

A person who can be energized by an art-form must have a capacity for sublimation and must be open to adventure. The same is true for a person who can be energized by a game. People who follow the arts manifestly also play games. Double your pleasure, double your fun.

For people attuned to the arts, it follows that playing a game about the arts should be at least as enjoyable, exciting, or aesthetically fulfilling as playing a game devoid of art content; even more so. Yet, despite the wealth of riches, amusement, knowledge, and enjoyment to be found in and through the arts, up to now the world of games and gaming seems hardly to have noticed the fact that art exists.

In this feature, you can do something to help turn this situation around. Electricka and her muses believe that something is wrong with the state of the art in arts gaming. They believe that gamers in many walks of life who follow the arts would like to have access to a much larger repertory of games based on the arts than at present. They believe that gamers who do not now follow the arts would also profit from the chance to play arts-related games.

Wouldn't you like to know more about this fascinating world and its connection between gaming and the arts? Wouldn't you like to see the arts have a greater presence in this fast-changing yet perennial world? Wouldn't you like to have a role in steering this world in the direction of the arts?

Here, with the help and participation of visitors, Electricka and her muses seek to to raise the level of awareness of the arts among gamers at large and to increase the repertory of arts-related games available to gamers who value the arts. Given the scope of the world of games and gaming and their paucity of art content, even if they achieve these goals in small measure they will have taken a long step forward.
