The following analysis intends to, by comparing definitions of what is an electronic game and what is a digital literary work, answer if it is possible to read a digital literary work in a videogame console. An analysis of two games, Braid and Return of the Obra Dinn is also present, in a way to clarify if they have any similarities to literary works (digital or not). To achieve the objective, the theoretical assumptions that support the analysis are Katherine Hayles (2009); Jane Macgonigal (2012); Walter Benjamin (1987); Laurent Jenny (1979) among others.
