Some games have inspired the creation of literature.
Games that are based upon books or novels.
"Comic Book Included" is for video games that have an actual physical comic book that come with them (See "Comic Book" for comic books in the games themselves). Sometimes the comics help the player play the game, sometimes they're just a fun diversion.
Video games that pick up the story where a movie, book or comic left off.
Shared mythology for several H.P. Lovecraft stories.
Frankenstein's monster is the creature inspired by the Mary Shelley novel, Frankenstein. Usually creatures inspired by this theme are made from different body parts and almost always have bolts through their necks. They're usually naive and destructive.
A game based on an anime.
Video games that are based on comic books, manga and graphic novels.
Whenever there's a new Pixar, superhero or Harry Potter movie they have to make one of these.
Video games based on movies that are in turn based on previous games in their respective franchises.
These games were popular enough to warrant an anime, whether it was a full television series, an OVA (original video animation), or a feature-length movie.
Games that have been used as the basis for motion pictures.
Video games developed in Japan but based on Western IPs.
These games are based off of established licenses, such as movies, comics, or TV shows. Examples are the James Bond 007 and Spider-Man franchises.
Shoggoths are a race of oozing, shapeless entities that appear in H.P. Lovecraft's works and their derivatives.
In text based games, most, if not all the game play, or graphics is created with words.
Trolls are a mythical race of creatures that have been interpreted many different ways in games.
Unicorns are mythological creatures, usually thought of as magical, intelligent horse-like entities with a single horn on their forehead. They can be fierce forest protectors and are a symbol of chastity and moral pureness.
A sub-genre of adventure games, visual novels are a form of interactive fiction that usually have very little in terms of gameplay but often focus more on extensive storytelling, character interactions, decision-making and branching narratives.
