An '''art game''' is a work of [[interactive art]] that is a video game or a game-like software created to be an artistic expression rather than for pure entertainment. Art games are often designed to provoke thought, convey a message, or explore the boundaries of the medium.
'''Apple cider cookies''' are a type of [[cookie]] that incorporate [[apple cider]] as a key ingredient, providing a distinct apple flavor. These cookies are often associated with the fall season and are popular in regions where apple cider is a traditional beverage.


== Characteristics ==
==Ingredients and Preparation==
Art games are characterized by their focus on [[aesthetics]], narrative, and the exploration of concepts rather than traditional gameplay mechanics. They often challenge the player's perceptions and encourage them to think critically about the themes presented.
Apple cider cookies typically include ingredients such as [[flour]], [[sugar]], [[butter]], [[eggs]], and [[baking soda]]. The defining ingredient, apple cider, is often reduced to concentrate its flavor before being added to the dough. Spices such as [[cinnamon]], [[nutmeg]], and [[cloves]] are commonly used to enhance the apple flavor and give the cookies a warm, autumnal taste.


=== Aesthetics ===
To prepare apple cider cookies, the dry ingredients are usually mixed separately from the wet ingredients. The reduced apple cider is combined with the wet ingredients, and then the dry ingredients are gradually incorporated to form a dough. The dough is then shaped into balls and baked until golden brown.
Art games frequently employ unique visual styles, soundscapes, and storytelling techniques. The aesthetics of an art game are integral to its identity and are often used to enhance the thematic elements of the game.


=== Narrative ===
==Variations==
While not all art games have a traditional narrative, many use storytelling as a tool to engage players. The narrative in art games can be linear or non-linear, and often leaves room for interpretation.
There are several variations of apple cider cookies, including:


=== Interactivity ===
* '''Caramel-stuffed apple cider cookies''': These cookies have a caramel filling, adding a rich, gooey center that complements the apple cider flavor.
Interactivity in art games is used to immerse the player in the experience. The level of interactivity can vary, with some games offering minimal interaction to emphasize the artistic elements, while others provide complex systems for players to explore.
* '''Glazed apple cider cookies''': A simple glaze made from powdered sugar and apple cider can be drizzled over the cookies for added sweetness and visual appeal.
* '''Spiced apple cider cookies''': Additional spices such as [[ginger]] or [[allspice]] can be added to the dough for a more complex flavor profile.


== History ==
==Cultural Significance==
The concept of art games emerged in the late 20th century as artists began to explore digital media. Early examples include works by [[Nam June Paik]] and [[Marcel Duchamp]], who experimented with interactive installations and digital art.
Apple cider cookies are often enjoyed during the fall and winter months, particularly in areas with a strong tradition of apple harvesting. They are a popular treat at [[Thanksgiving]] and other autumnal celebrations, where they are appreciated for their comforting flavors and seasonal ingredients.


In the 2000s, the rise of independent game development and digital distribution platforms allowed for greater experimentation. Games like ''[[Journey (2012 video game)|Journey]]'' and ''[[Flower (video game)|Flower]]'' by [[Thatgamecompany]] exemplify the art game genre, focusing on emotional experiences and visual storytelling.
