Purpose of the Study

This study investigates how different forms of adaptive design in a narrative game affect the player's emotional experience. You will play a short text-based narrative game that explores themes of loss and grief, and then participate in an interview about your experience.

What Participation Involves

  • Playing a narrative game twice (two different versions), approximately 15–20 minutes each

  • A semi-structured interview afterward, approximately 15–20 minutes

  • The session will be screen-recorded and audio-recorded for research purposes

  • Total time: approximately 1 hour 15 minutes
