true. The King in Yellow invites the reader to doubt the narrator, and
in doing so, creates dissonance between the author and the reader.
I wanted to explore this concept within the confines of Arkham
Horror: The Card Game. But how does one create an unreliable
narrator in a card game? We explored this question in several ways.
The first is by writing the story text of each scenario in such a way
as to invite multiple interpretations of the events happening to the
investigators. Was the theatre truly full of cultists and terrifying
creatures? Or were the investigators victims of their own delusions?
Were the guests of Constance Dumaine’s dinner party monstrous
horrors, or innocent bystanders? Did the investigators visit Arkham
Asylum searching for Daniel Chesterfield, or were they patients?
There are no right or wrong answers to these questions. They are
answered by the players themselves, who are the lens through
which these events must be interpreted.
