Byte Club

Video game discussion group for teens and adults

2026-11-16 18:30:00 2026-11-16 19:30:00 America/Indiana/Indianapolis Byte Club Main Library - Meeting Room B

Monday, November 16
6:30pm - 7:30pm

Add to Calendar

Main Library

Meeting Room B

This month's topic: Roguelike/Roguelite Genre Study. Registration is required.

In this discussion group, we talk about video games: their stories, mechanics, artwork, music, characters, themes, personal connection, impact on society, etc. Share ideas, learn about new games, and build a community around our love of this interactive art form. Every month, we’ll get together for an hour to talk about a specific game we’ve played or some broader topic related to gaming.

This month’s topic is “Genre Study: Roguelike/Roguelite.” Maybe you want to slay a spire. Maybe you want to bind Isaac. Play through a game or two in the genre, then we’ll discuss what we think makes some Roguelike games immensely satisfying and others frustratingly unfun. Join us as we try to figure out what makes us want to try “just one more run” before bedtime.

See more upcoming sessions of Byte Club.
