What is Meowcide really, and why is it a "post-shooter"?
To explain this concept, we need to delve into a cultural movement known as deconstruction, pioneered by the 20th-century French philosopher Jacques Derrida.
Deconstruction is a philosophical and artistic concept that questions traditional hierarchies and structures. It explores ways in which language and text can be broken down into their components to reveal hidden meanings and contradictions. Deconstruction adheres to the idea that meaning is not always stable and can change depending on the context. It emphasizes discussion and the diversity of ideas rather than seeking definitive truths.
What if we deconstruct the components of the phenomenon of the shooter game in modern popular culture and extract its core, its semantic skeleton? The player controls a single character, who shoots a lot, moves a lot, and all of this happens in an entirely serious setting, where the cost of a mistake is the character's death.
It's entirely obvious that the best narrative genre for such a game would be a technothriller, and the best setting would be the contemporary present.
A technothriller is a genre of literature and cinema (and, in a broader sense, mass culture) that focuses on contemporary military events, espionage operations, and political intrigues. It places a strong emphasis on current global conflicts and military aspects, crafting intense plots and characters associated with the military and political sphere. These works aim to convey the realities of modern geopolitical challenges and dangers. Technothrillers are popular among enthusiasts of military and political drama.
At last, Meowcide is a personal pet project. The project was born in 2022 as a result of reflecting on real-world events, attempting to explore the genre and transform it into a creative expression.
