To Hell with the Ugly, la adaptación del polar vianesco: ironía y humor made in USA

The adaptation of a novel into a video game is always a challenge, even more when it involves a work full of humorous elements like absurdity, irony, or sarcasm. This is the case with Et on tuera tous les affreux, by Boris Vian (1948) that the production company La Poule Noire has masterfully brought to life in the game. In this work, we will analyze how the creators have made use of the literary genre: noir fiction, which has provided a structure and character-istics very suitable for this type of transmedia storytelling. Additionally, we will examine how they have translated Vian’s humor into the playful creation, crossing the boundaries of the novel and enriching it with atmosphere and dialogue.
