What We Do

We preserve the past, educate the public, and inspire the future of narrative games.

The Foundation exists to ensure that the history, artistry, creators, and cultural significance of story-driven games are not lost as technology changes and the industry moves forward.

At the same time, we want to encourage a new generation of developers to create games that challenge players to think, explore, solve, imagine, empathize, and become immersed in meaningful interactive worlds.

Our philosophy can be summarized as:

Preserve → Teach → Inspire → Fund → Create → Archive → Repeat

Why This Matters

We believe games are more than entertainment.

We champion:

✔ Games as art

✔ Thoughtful, mentally engaging play

✔ Human creativity and storytelling
