I love it when when the gameplay and in-game story intersect to create deepened immersion.
For example, Wallbridge is traumatic for both the characters AND the player :P
#dolphin plays graces again#i am so lost#jokes aside I really do love when games intentionally deepen their themes through fourth wall breaks or gameplay elements#yknow stuff like undertale or doki doki lit club or the stanley parable#I tried to do a research paper on it in undergrad but all I have is 4 annotated articles and 2 annotated bibligiographies#none of the articles were EXACTLY what I was looking for (exploration of player/character/game dynamics especially in choose-your-own games#but there were some pretty cool takes on games through a philosophical lens (eg. what is true in one playthrough may not be true in another#and semantics about player vs character vs avatar#anyway graces doesn't really do this unless you count miserable things like navigating Wallbridge or fighting Emeraude 😅#in which case I am just as unhappy ad the characters 😂
