每个人心中都有一个不为人知的黑暗空间，藏着苦痛与胶着。你有没有想过有一天，可以透过游戏让自己去认识、深掘这片黑暗？
 
在这个电玩游戏正夯的世代，市面上有琳琅满目的游戏可供玩家选择。然而，在众多强调声色、竞技、特效的电玩游戏中，另外有一股特别的势力在酝酿中：Twine，一个人人都可以开发出亦文本、亦游戏的工具。有别于一般的电玩游戏，透过Twine制作出的游戏经常以各种人性的挣扎与黑暗为主题，包括忧郁症的痛苦、酷儿探索身分认同的过程、分析现代的性欲世界，甚至也有人用Twine游戏描绘出反乌托邦的未来世界。虽然有人说，这样的游戏根本算不上游戏，但是在传统的主流游戏文化下，许多人的声音是不被听见的。而如今Twine的崛起，无疑成了这群人最好的发声平台，他们可以说自己的故事、透过游戏让别人看见他们的内心世界。
 
本书由Twine的作者兼游戏理论家Merritt Kopas负责编辑，号召数字Twine作者、文学作家、游戏制作人、游戏评论家进行多方对谈，相互讨论、交流。内容绝对出乎众人意料，定义出全新的游戏文化。

本书好评：
 
“With each chapter in Videogames for Humans I immediately felt a specific kind of affectation I often associate with Twine games—contemplative, slow, mysterious and exciting. These are games that often beg for reflection and context, and it’s apt that artists working in a medium as seemingly antiquated as interactive fiction are developing works of digital play and storytelling with such depth.”
—VICE Motherboard
 
“Videogames for Humans contains fascinating conversations with Twine creators curated by Merritt Kopas. And if it sells enough copies, a Twine version is, of course, to be constructed.”
—The Guardian
 
“Videogames for Humans contains invaluable criticism presented by thoughtful voices. . . Those who are at least somewhat familiar with Twine shouldn’t pass up this massive, engaging tome.”
—Paste Magazine
 
“[Kopas has] gathered Twine game creators and critics to annotate and discuss one another's works—the result isn't just a unique angle on games criticism; it's a gathering of many of the most prominent creators in that unique space.
—Boing Boing
 
“There are a great many stories sandwiched between the covers of Videogames For Humans—too many to list in detail here. If you’re remotely curious, then I suggest you get a copy of the book and try them out for yourself...a showcase of just what Twine can do...”
