NarraScope is a conference that brings together the writers, developers, scholars, and players of interactive narrative.
NarraScope 2026 will be hosted at the University at Albany in Albany, NY. It will be a hybrid event with live and pre-recorded talks both presented at the conference site and streamed via Discord. Recordings of all talks will be made available on the Interactive Fiction Technology Foundation’s YouTube channel after the conference.
Subjects vary from interactive fiction tools to writing best practices and everything in between. Previous talks had titles like “Choosing Your Happily Ever After”, “Shaping Your Story with Emotional Intelligence” and “Adapting Film’s Techniques for Nonlinear Stories”, to give you a bit of an idea.
Our conference aims to be a place for everyone interested in narrative games to hang out, exchange ideas and get inspired. We do this through a broad selection of talks, keynote speakers, discussions, and workshops.
