Can anyone provide a comprehensive definition :marseyremastered: of postmodernism?

Bonus: what, if any, is the relationship between :marseyzeldalinkpast: postmodernism :marseyfrenchvan: and existentialism?

What are some postmodern :marseydeathoftheartist: video :marseyzeldalinkpast2: games? Would :marseymid: Night :marseysamfisher: in the Woods :marseylillian: qualify as postmodern, existentialist, neither, or both?

Definitely Metal Gear Solid 2 with its whole discussion of subjective narratives, memes, virtual reality, (what would eventually become) social media, etc and takes its deviations from the original "agent-spy has to stop terrorism" story/trope from MGS1 and countless other games/movies. I'd consider it not existential but one of the most notable dialogues towards the end of the game always reminds me of this quote from the father of existentialism, Kierkegaard, "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use".

The Stanley Project is the most obvious example. The entire game is metacommentary.
