Publisher and scope
This website is provided by Frametonicbexum Medien GmbH, Schillerstraße 31, 04109 Leipzig, Germany; Amtsgericht Leipzig, HRB 42317. Questions about these terms may be sent to [email protected].
The website offers free editorial information about game environmental storytelling. It does not provide paid instruction, accredited qualifications, professional consulting or a guarantee of a particular design outcome.
Editorial interpretation
Essays combine observable features of games with critical interpretation. Unless expressly attributed to a source, a reading is the publication’s analysis, not a verified statement of developer intent. Examples may discuss structural discoveries or contain limited spoilers. Photographs are real-world spatial references, not game screenshots.
We aim for accuracy but may revise material to correct errors or improve clarity. Check linked primary material where a factual detail matters to your work. The site’s availability and the continued availability of external references are not guaranteed.
Copyright and permitted use
Original editorial text and the website’s original presentation are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may read, link to and quote material to the extent permitted by law, including applicable quotation exceptions. Acknowledge the publication and link to the relevant essay when citing it.
These terms do not grant a blanket licence to republish complete essays, reproduce photographs or redistribute third-party assets. Separate rights may apply to photography, games, trademarks and referenced works. Game names are used for identification and criticism; their owners do not sponsor or endorse this website.
Reasonable use
Do not interfere with the site’s operation, attempt unauthorised access or use correspondence channels for unlawful, abusive or deceptive content. Do not send confidential project files or personal information about others unless you have an appropriate basis to share it.
Messages and submissions
The contact preview tool works locally and does not send messages. You are responsible for checking a draft and choosing whether to transmit it using your own email service. Copying or downloading a message is not a submission to us.
Sending an email does not create an obligation to respond, an editorial commission or a transfer of ownership. We will seek appropriate permission before publishing identifiable correspondence beyond what applicable law permits. We may independently investigate a suggested correction or topic.
External websites
Links provide context and sources. We do not control third-party content, availability, security or privacy practices. A link does not imply endorsement of everything on the destination site.
Liability and mandatory rights
Liability is governed by applicable law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for intent or gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, or other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Mandatory consumer and data protection rights remain unaffected.
German law applies to the extent legally permissible, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections applicable in their country of habitual residence. These terms do not impose an exclusive court jurisdiction on consumers where the law does not permit it.
