“…Based on this, we hypothesize also that a nonlinear-gameplay adoption, in which the game story proceeds following the player’s choices or player’s success or failure at a specific challenge and the possibility of multiple endings, can positively increase the dramatic effect and the attention of players [ 45 , 89 ]. Furthermore, NPCs may be used to simulate the mental pressure exerted by supervisors on workers, being able to experience these kinds of situations within a video game may have significant changes in social relationships between farm operators [ 90 ].…”

Digital games have been successfully applied in different working sectors as an occupational safety training method, but with a very limited application in agriculture. In agriculture and other productive sectors, unintentional injuries tend to occur with similar dynamics. A literature review was carried out to understand how occupational risks are addressed during game-based safety training in different productive sectors and how this can be transferred to agriculture. Literature about “serious game” and “gamification” as safety training methods was searched in WEB OF SCIENCE, SCOPUS, PUBMED and PsycINFO databases. In the forty-two publications retained, the computer was identified as the most adopted game support, whereas “points”, “levels”, “challenges” and “discovery” were the preferred game mechanics. Moreover, an association can be detected between the game mechanics and the elements developed in the game. Finally, during the game assessment, much positive feedback was collected and the games proved to be able to increase the operators’ skills and safety knowledge. In light of the results, insights are provided to develop an effective, satisfying and engaging safety game training for workers employed in agriculture. Games can be best used to learn and they are certain to improve over the next few years.

This research conducted to analyze whether emotions can replace traditional game input and whether using emotions as game input can increase user involvement in playing games by emphasizing emotions in game design and emotional detection using facial expression recognition (FER). As has been stated by several researchers that emotions in games affect the user experience. Authors identified an increase in user experience using the term engagement used in the measurement questionnaire of the game engagement questionnaire (GEQ). And the results of this GEQ used as the final evaluation of this study.
