In Las Vegas, building a city in the middle of a desert is a good idea, your cocktail waitress actually likes you, and poker is a game of skill. Still I love all the marble, the paintings, the statues, the shininess, the attention to detail that billionaires have lavished onto the place to compete with each other. Subscribe now

Here we’re primarily talking about the player revisiting earlier floors on their journey, rather than backtracking within a single map (though I’ll cover that topic a bit separately at the end), and our discussion focuses on roguelikes of the dungeon delving variety, since open world games generally allow backtracking by default.

I gave a talk on games and meaning at GDC 2023, which is now available on YouTube: However, I fully scripted the talk ahead of time, so I decided it would be worth taking the time to post the slides online, in three parts to have mercy on your browser.
