Thanks for your comment! I seem to have this thing for being interviewed by nordic game magazines, apparently. I'm glad that there's some folks writing about this stuff from an insider / local perspective there, too: In Finland, I definitely felt like the outsider coming in, which was annoying.

Oh, and a question:

verfremdungseffekt

What does this word mean?

Oh, sorry. It's German, from Brecht actually, and used in lit theory and theater. I had a notion it was used internationally but now when I look it up I see that it has a translated meaning in English: Alienation Effect.

I meant it in the way that the Key Phrases both draw you into the unreal and at the same time serves as a reminder that we're taking an active part in the creation of a story.
