one, or ones, is (are) unique and attached to a specific Seed. That is proba-
bly why Faith reacts with shock when she discovers that the deputy has de-
stroyed her copy. Yet, the grey version is equally unwilling to share its content
with the deputy or the player, but it can at least be interacted with, although
only in a strict and scripted way.
The third version of The Book of Joseph is exclusively found in The Baptism
trailer. It is also grey, like the special version in the game, but here it appears
to be a notebook, including a rubber band, containing what would probably
later become The Book of Joseph seen in the other medial objects under inquiry
in this article. This proto version of Joseph’s book has no decorative lines, only
the logo. No interaction is possible because of the nature of the medial object
(film instead of digital game).
The fourth version of The Book of Joseph is the physical limited edition deliv-
ered as a part of the Mondo edition of the game. It has a black cover with no
decorative lines, but with logo and title in golden letters. The black colour of
the cover and the occurrence of the title are unique to this version. Interac-
tion with this version is very much possible.
The book’s materiality is summarized in figure 15.

various medial objects.
