In the Colossus’ Shadow

Reality

This is part six of the IGS on Shadow of the Colossus. As mentioned in the video, you can read Craig Owens’ article “The quest for Shadow of the Colossus’ last big secret” on Eurogamer.net.

This concludes the video portion of the project. We’ve also put together an article deconstructing the game, which discusses what makes the game function as an attention-getting trap, and what another game would have to do to engage the audience in a similar way.

If you’re not familiar with the game, or want a recap, consider watching parts one through three. Otherwise, you could head back to part five or start the analysis over with part four.
