O envolvimento do usuário com o mundo ficcional: um estudo de caso sobre o jogo “Fate/Grand Order”

Abstract

Virtual environments presente fictional worlds which create interactive process and immersion for their players. Simple or extremely detailed, these systems allow more complex interactions than simply making use of the player’s motor skills to complete na objective. 14 From developing that space, the psychological concepts surrounding the user and system become the core of this workd. Elements such as emotional attachment, values and moral, cultural background and previous knowledge can be implemented to intensify that experience even further, allowing that these factors have some influence in player’s decision making. This way, it’s possible to make a player sacrifice a mechanical advantage in order to keep or develot emotional attachment formed to multiple elements of that environment. To analyse this relationship this work will be a case study where, after explaining both the neuroscience that surrounds the roots of emotional attaachment as well as the importance of player’s decision making, we will apply these conecpts into the game “Fate/Grand Order”, na online gacha game where the player can collect new characters through a lottery system. There will also be short analysis of some other games such as “Undertale” and “Detroit: Become Human” as complementary material about the uses of narratives in video games
