Explore a 20-minute conference talk examining the impact of meaningful choices in narrative-rich games and interactive narratives. Delve into a mixed-method study that investigates how players perceive and respond to game choices, and learn about the moral, social, and consequential characteristics that contribute to meaningful decision-making experiences. Discover how these elements affect player appreciation, enjoyment, and narrative engagement. Gain insights into the potential of narrative-rich games to influence emotions, attitudes, and behavior in both entertainment and serious game contexts. Recorded at the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in Montréal, Canada, this presentation offers valuable findings for game designers, researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of interactive narratives and player experiences.
