Going to write a paper of meta-cooperative gameplay and emergent multimedia interactions.

AKA, any game can be multiplayer when I ask my partner to look stuff up for me about where I’m meant to go while I’m playing.

But can it be competitive? Or competition-agnostic but divergent-goal-uncooperative? Or a four hyphen thing??

reminders to save and spotting collectables are also key components in my experience

Isn't that the primary mechanic of Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes?

This is how four of us played the original Tomb Raider games. One person on the control pad, the rest making mental maps and telling them what to do.

And laughing when they missed the jump, obvs

(Although my best gaming memory is almost the opposite of that - aged 11/12 on an Apple ][ we had a plane dogfight game where up to 6 players got three keys of the keyboard each to control their plane.

The main mechanic was shoving your opponents off their keys so they’d lose control for a sec)
