“…Participants indicated that perspective change from patient to nurse were important game features for being able to empathize with someone else, which has also been reported in previous research regarding training moral sensitivity and depression. 28,29 Although The Delirium Experience does not contain performance graphs, it does contain feedback and scores after each day in the game, which provides guidance to the players on how to continue and improve. This seemed to be important for supporting self-efficacy.…”

Objective: Choosing inappropriate or unethical actions in games is referred to as dark play. For a serious game on delirium for medical students, we aimed to investigate the potential differences between dark play and normal play on game effectiveness regarding abilities in advising care, learning motivation and engagement, and attitude toward delirious patients. Furthermore, we aimed to explore the use of different game features between the two types of play on empathy, self-efficacy, and consequences of care. Methods: We performed a two-arm randomized controlled trial including an exploratory qualitative approach with 157 medical students, who played the serious game ''The Delirium Experience.'' Participants were randomly allocated to either the dark play or normal play group. Participants had to give three recommendations for taking care of delirious patients, and complete both the Delirium Attitude Scale, and Learning Motivation and Engagement Questionnaire to study game effectiveness. To explore game features, open questions were asked. Results: We did not find difference between the two types of play in game effectiveness. ''Patient's and nurse's perspective'' seem to be an important game feature for being able to empathize with a patient in both groups. To support self-efficacy, ''practice how to care'' and ''feedback in the game'' were important in both study groups. ''Being able to see the importance of good interaction with the patient'' was reported important for self-efficacy in the dark play group, whereas this was ''seeing the consequences of care'' in the normal play group. Conclusions: There seems to be no change to game effectiveness when providing players the opportunity to use dark play in a serious game. A realistic view of another person's perspective could be an important game feature to increase empathy.

“…Salah satu studi terkait video game adalah bagaimana naratif dalam video game mempengaruhi manusia. Salah satu studi seperti penelitian Katsarov, Christen, Mauerhofer, Schmocker, & Tanner, (2019) menyebutkan bahwa video game dapat membuat pemainnya lebih memiliki empati pada kelompoknya sendiri, menyadari norma dan aturan dan menyadari bahwa dirinya sendiri mudah dipengaruhi oleh bias dan stigma tertentu. Penelitian lainnya dari Schuldt, Sachse, Hetsch, & Moss, (2018) menyebutkan video game dapat mempengaruhi tindakan pemain bahkan di dunia nyata, dimana pilihan yang diambil di video game juga menunjukkan pilihan di dunia nyata.…”

“…Pembajakan video game dan lemahnya hukum di Indonesia terkait hal tersebut membuat mayoritas pemain video game di Indonesia memiliki akses ke jumlah video game yang cukup besar karena tidak dibatasi oleh finansial (Alexandri, Maulina, Chan, & Sumadinata, 2019). Penggunaan video game di Indonesia juga mulai beragam seperti di bidang edukasi (Ng, 2019), budaya (Pane, Najoan, & Paturusi, 2017) dan arsitektur kota (Chkartina et al, 2019 (Iten et al, 2018;Katsarov et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2016…”

Video game dengan narasi yang kuat menjadi salah satu cara mengembangkan video game. Dengan menggunakan isu dilema moral pada publik, beberapa game dikembangkan dengan isu sosial sebagai ide utama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari bukti apakah video game bisa bertindak sebagai media belajar untuk moral secara spesifik sebagai studi inisial. Penelitian dilakukan dengan melakukan expos menggunakan video terhadap video game dengan naratif kuat pada 66 responden selama 20-32 hari dan memberikan kuesioner respon terhadap video game tersebut. Kodifiikasi dilakukan untuk menilai semua responden bertujuan untuk mengkuantifikasi respon yang didapatkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsensus setuju bahwa video game memiliki potensi menjadi media belajar moral yang lebih baik dari buku maupun film. Video game juga ditemukan mampu mempengaruhi moralitas responden untuk jangka pendek, namun tidak mampu mempengaruhi secara signifikan moralitas jangka panjang. Diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengetahui pengaruh video game terhadap moralitas pemain.

“…Of course, research on the psychological effects of games, especially violent games, is quite popular, but has come to largely mixed conclusions (Ellithorpe et al 2015;Ferguson 2008). In fact, there is also interest in using video games to encourage better moral decision making (Katsarov et al 2017).…”

Choice poetics is a formalist framework that seeks to concretely describe the impacts choices have on player experiences within narrative games. Developed in part to support algorithmic generation of narrative choices, the theory includes a detailed analytical framework for understanding the impressions choice structures make by analyzing the relationships among options, outcomes, and player goals. The theory also emphasizes the need to account for players’ various modes of engagement, which vary both during play and between players. In this work, we illustrate the non-computational application of choice poetics to the analysis of two different games to further develop the theory and make it more accessible to others. We focus first on using choice poetics to examine the central repeated choice in “Undertale,” and show how it can be used to contrast two different player types that will approach a choice differently. Finally, we give an example of fine-grained analysis using a choice from the game “Papers, Please,” which breaks down options and their outcomes to illustrate exactly how the choice pushes players towards complicity via the introduction of uncertainty. Through all of these examples, we hope to show the usefulness of choice poetics as a framework for understanding narrative choices, and to demonstrate concretely how one could productively apply it to choices “in the wild.”
