She has been devoted to researching how to combine animated film with video games for the last several years, as shown by her work. BadBadMeowMeow have been trying a form of audience participation that is more direct, i.e. interaction through video games, and thus have begun to develop and combine video games and video narratives. Her recent films “Super MeowMeow” and “My Vagina Labyrinth” both extend the narrative of the animated film through an accompanying video game (both films have a seperate game) that can be operated and experienced. The audience is no longer just a bystander, but can roam freely in the setting of the story.
