The silver case- fandom

The Silver Case: The 25th ward- video game 
(grasshopper manufacture, 2018)
- visual novels, however are highly atypical of the genre with little characterisation with a plot that frequently contradicts its self
Deliberately atypical because even though the same move is repeated, it seems to have gotten the same result. also it is much more chilled with pretty much no action within the game itself 
there is a complete lack of structure and game play which could argue that it is not really a game. It doesn't care about it's audience, as the sound effects have been reviewed negatively however they  have decided not to change to to switch them off. there is an excessive use of bad language
deliberately does everything wrong 
has a very cult audience 

Fandom - Henry Jenkins:

refers to a particularly organised and motivated audience of a certain media producer franchise
unlike the generic audience or the classic spectator, fans are active participants in the construction and circulation of textual meaning
fans appropriate texts and read them in ways that are not fully intended by the media producers

one of the main benefits is it leads to a social community E.G comic con 

assassins creed players are called 'the creed'

Examples of fandom:
