  • Evaluating Player Immersion in Survival Horror Video Game Design 1
    EVALUATING PLAYER IMMERSION IN SURVIVAL HORROR VIDEO GAME DESIGN A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY MELODIE GRIFFIN DR. JENNIFER PALILONIS - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2019 EVALUATING PLAYER IMMERSION IN SURVIVAL HORROR VIDEO GAME DESIGN 1 ABSTRACT THESIS: Evaluating Player Immersion in Survival Horror Video Games STUDENT: Melodie Griffin DEGREE: Master of Arts COLLEGE: College of Communication, Information, Media DATE: May 2019 PAGES: 66 While survival horror video games develop at a rapid pace, a gap in user experience research continues to widen alongside their development. More specifically, this study seeks to understand how perspective and narrative affect player immersion in survival horror video games by performing a comparative study of player experience during gameplay with and without virtual reality enhancement. By evaluating how players interact with the gameplay experience, this study will identify how differing player perspective provokes or affects player immersion. Based on these findings, this study recommends a less restrictive game structure that limits the use of narrative cutscenes, provides more than one way to complete game challenges/objectives, and allows for virtual reality enhancement options. EVALUATING PLAYER IMMERSION IN SURVIVAL HORROR VIDEO GAME DESIGN 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I’d like to express sincere gratitude to my advisor, mentor, and friend-- Dr. Jennifer Palilonis. My thesis committee Dr. Johnny Sparks and Dr. Tim Huang also deserve my gratitude. In addition, a great many thanks goes to the Emerging Media Design and Development faculty and students. Their support and kindness has strengthened my research.

  • Evolution of the Youtube Personas Related to Survival Horror Games
    Toniolo EVOLUTION OF THE YOUTUBE PERSONAS RELATED TO SURVIVAL HORROR GAMES FRANCESCO TONIOLO CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF MILAN ABSTRACT The indie survival horror game genre has given rise to some of the most famous game streamers on YouTube, especially titles likes Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Frictional Games 2010), Slender: The Eight Pages (Parsec Productions 2012), and Five Nights at Freddy’s (Scott Cawthon 2014). The games are strongly focused on horror tropes including jump scares and defenceless protagonists, which lend them to displays of overemphasised emotional reactions by YouTubers, who use them to build their online personas in a certain way. This paper retraces the evolution of the relationship between horror games and YouTube personas, with attention to in-game characters and gameplay mechanics on the one hand and the practices of prominent YouTube personas on the other. It will show how the horror game genre and related media, including “Let’s play” videos, animated fanvids, and “creepypasta” stories have influenced prominent YouTuber personas and resulted in some changes in the common processes of persona formation on the platform. KEY WORDS Survival Horror; Video Game; YouTube; Creepypasta; Fanvid; Let’s Play INTRODUCTION Marshall & Barbour (2015, p. 7) argue that “Game culture consciously moves the individual into a zone of production and constitution of public identity”. Similarly, scholars have studied – with different foci and levels of analysis – the relationships between gamers and avatars in digital worlds or in tabletop games by using the concept of “persona” (McMahan 2003; Waskul & Lust 2004; Isbister 2006; Frank 2012). Often, these scholars were concerned with online video games such as World of Warcraft (Filiciak 2003; Milik 2017) or famous video game icons like Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series (McMahan 2008).

  • Analysis of Gender and Queer Representation in Outlast II Margret
    Outlasting the Binary: Analysis of Gender and Queer Representation in Outlast II Margret M. Murphy Department of Sociology SOC 401: Research Dr. Oluwakemi “Kemi” Balogun March 20, 2020 OUTLASTING THE BINARY 2 Abstract The components within Horror Media has been a topic of study for decades. A major gap in the scholarship is how representations within horror media impacts marginalized communities negatively. Using the first-person survival horror game Outlast II, I ask how these tropes accentuate the archetypes of hegemonic masculinity and emphasized femininity as well as how they conventionalize individuals that challenge the gender binary. The cutscenes, dialogue, documents, and recordings collected will be analyzed, providing evidence for the forthcoming discussions about the representation of gender and queer communities within this game. Results show that the game emphasizes similar themes commonly found in horror media. These include: the “male protector” and “damsel in distress” archetypes, the violent mistreatment of women, framing sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) as grotesque, exclusion of primary female characters, stereotyping queer characters, and emphasis on hegemonic masculinity, a term coined by Connell (1987). This case study will provide further evidence for ongoing research on horror media and its use of the gender binary, stereotypical male/female roles, and exclusion of non- stereotypical gender non-conforming or queer characters. Keywords: videogames, horror, gender binary, hegemonic masculinity, emphasized femininity, queer representation OUTLASTING THE BINARY 3 Dedications and Acknowledgements A huge thank you to my advisor, Professor Oluwakemi “Kemi” Balogun! Thank you for giving me criticisms, advice, and ideas that were nothing but helpful in making this the best it can possibly be.

  • Page 1 Campaign Critique #1 Entry Name: Red Barrels: the Underscares – the Outlast 2 Companion Diaper Kickstarter Project Agen
    Page 1 Campaign Critique #1 Entry Name: Red Barrels: The Underscares – The Outlast 2 companion diaper Kickstarter project Agency: Sid Lee Client: Red Barrels Synopsis Outlast is a successful horror-survival video game launched in 2013 by a small independent gaming company named Red Barrels. The Outlast series takes place in an insane asylum on Mount Massive, run by a company named Murkoff, who are experimenting on the homicidal patients. The player takes on the role of a journalist named Miles. You’ve received a tip from an unknown sender that the experiments on the patients were inhumane, and Murkoff needed to be exposed for what they are doing. Miles arrives to discover that someone, or something, has already taken matters into their own hands. You play the game engulfed in darkness; with endless amounts of jump-scares, gore, and games of cat and mouse with the patients who just want to kill. Armed with hope for survival, Miles only brandishes a night-vision camera that guides him through the horrors of the game. In 2017, Outlast 2 was released. Taken place in the same universe but the player takes on a different character. A squeal to its predecessor, you are a journalist that is investigating the murder of an unknown pregnant woman. The evidence leads you to discover a small town deep in the woods, tokened the name Temple Gate by a cult leader who claims that the town lies on the mouth of Hell. With the popularity of horror-survival games on the rise, Red Barrels needed to stand out during the busy seasons of game releases in the upcoming holidays of 2016.
