5 games and video games inspired by Italo Calvino

For the centenary of Italo Calvino's birth, Artribune selected five games influenced by his works: 'Le cosmicomiche' (1965), 'Le città invisibili' (1972), and 'Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore' (1979). The list includes four video games and one escape room. 'Braid' by Jonathan Blow (Number None) draws from 'Le città invisibili' and is available on PC, Mac, Linux, PS3, and Xbox 360; an Anniversary Edition was announced but not yet released. 'Genesis Noir' by Feral Cat Den and Fellow Traveller, inspired by 'Le cosmicomiche', is a jazz interactive musical about the Big Bang, available on PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. 'If On A Winter’s Night, Four Travelers' by Laura Hunt and Thomas Möhring is a free point-and-click adventure referencing 'Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore', available for PC and Linux. 'I Wish I Were the Moon' by Daniel Benmergui, inspired by 'La distanza della Luna' from 'Le cosmicomiche', is a free art game playable on itch.io. 'Ludmilla' is an escape room designed by We Are Muesli for Festivaletteratura di Mantova, based on 'Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore'.
