Literature-inspired games

Group Description

Games based off works of literature, previously published, and characters from those works. This can include novels and short stories, published in books, magazines, in e-books or even online as text.

Limitations:

• If the game directly references content or design from another adaptation of literature, such as a Movie, it is no longer considered to be based "solely" off the original literature and is instead based off of the new derivative work;
  
  
• Books and other literature which has been written, based on an already existing game, are not eligible for this group. In those cases the literature is inspired by the game, not the other way around;
  
  
• Legendary characters such as Zeus, King Arthur or Robin Hood are based on a loose series of tales and mythology. For that reason, different materials have sprung up with completely different retellings and the characters themselves don't really apply to any particular piece of literature. These can only be included in this group if the game references a specific book, author or story;
  
  
• Games which merely re-create the "atmosphere" of a certain author or set of stories are not to be included in this group.

For the related but distinct group of games which inspired books in turn, please consult the games made into books group.
