  • PT, Freud, and Psychological Horror
    Press Start Silent Halls Silent Halls: P.T., Freud, and Psychological Horror Anna Maria Kalinowski York University, Toronto Abstract “What is a ghost?” “An emotion, a terrible moment condemned to repeat itself over and over…” —The Devil’s Backbone (Del Toro, 2001) This paper analyses P.T. (Kojima Productions, 2014), a playable teaser made to demo a planned instalment within the Silent Hill franchise. While the game is now indefinitely cancelled, P.T. has cemented itself not only as a full gaming experience, but also as a juggernaut in the genre of psychological horror. Drawing from Sigmund Freud’s concept of the uncanny, the aim of the paper is to address how these psychological concepts surface within the now infamous never-ending hallway of P.T. and create a deeply psychologically horrifying experience. Keywords psychological horror; the uncanny; Freud; game design; Press Start 2019 | Volume 5 | Issue 1 ISSN: 2055-8198 URL: http://press-start.gla.ac.uk Press Start is an open access student journal that publishes the best undergraduate and postgraduate research, essays and dissertations from across the multidisciplinary subject of game studies. Press Start is published by HATII at the University of Glasgow. Kalinowski Silent Halls Introduction The genre of psychological horror is a complex one to navigate through with ease, especially for those that are faint of heart. Despite its contemporary popularity, when the sub-genre first began to emerge within horror films, it was considered to be a detriment to the horror genre (Jancovich, 2010, p. 47). The term ‘psychological’ was often used to disguise the taming of horror elements instead of pushing the genre into more terrifying territories.

  • Developing a Virtual Reality Psychological Horror Video
    DEVELOPING A VIRTUAL REALITY PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR VIDEO GAME TO RAISE AWARENESS ON THE NATURE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA A Thesis Presented to the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science Ateneo de Manila University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Computer Science by Carlos Joaquin B. Alcantara Kurt Sigmund A. de Leon Joaquin Paolo C. Jacinto 2019 ABSTRACT Schizophrenia is a widely misunderstood mental illness that is infamous for its symptoms of psychosis. Exacerbated by the inaccurate, and often exaggerated, portrayal in popular media, a stigma has formed around patients affected by it. In this day and age, schizophrenia is often associated with negative terms such as “madmen” and “taong grasa” (lit. grease person; psychotic vagrant). The study aims to aid in raising awareness of the mental illness by educating the players of the real nature of schizophrenia, thereby supporting the effort to reduce the stigma towards affected patients. The proponents will try to achieve this goal by letting participants partake in a virtual reality psychological horror video game that simulates the different symptoms of schizophrenia. An assessment will be done before and after experiencing the simulation that tests their level of knowledge regarding the subject, as well as their views and opinions of patients with schizophrenia. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Mr. Walfrido David A. Diy, who served as the main adviser for the study. Your constructive criticisms and recommendations have been invaluable for the development of this research. We are also extremely grateful to both Dr. Ma. Mercedes Rodrigo, Ph.D, and Ms.

  • Playing the Sound of Silence Immersion, Loneliness, and Analysis of Multimodal Intertextuality in 21St Century Video Game Music
    Playing the Sound of Silence Immersion, Loneliness, and Analysis of Multimodal Intertextuality in 21st Century Video Game Music Even Ågrimsønn Næss Tekrø Master Thesis Department of Musicology Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo 2018 © Even Ågrimsønn Næss Tekrø 2018 ‘Playing the Sound of Silence’ http://www.duo.uio.no Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo ii Abstract This thesis seeks to investigate how music helps the player be immersed in video games. I do this through a multimodal and intertextual analysis, where I consider gameplay, visuals, sound design and music. The goal is to uncover what connotations and associations I bring in to the experience that influences the creating of meaning in the music. I use a methodology built on the emerging musicological sub-discipline ludomusicology, popular musicology and game studies, which give me a holistic approach for the hermeneutics of the video game music. I have used the lens of loneliness to give myself a framework to work within. For this thesis I have separated loneliness into three different categories: solitude, loneliness and isolation. I do this to better explore different facets of the experience of being alone in a video game, and how the music affects that experience specifically. This main part of this thesis is split into three chapters related to discussion around my interpretations. I examine The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017), No Man’s Sky (2016) and Bloodborne (2015) iii iv Acknowledgments First, I need to thank the Department of Musicology, University of Oslo, for giving this popular music student a chance at musicology proper when they accepted me into their master’s programme.

  • Stakeholder Management in Crowdfunded Video Game Development
    Fabian Unger Stakeholder management in crowdfunded video game development Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences Master’s Thesis May 2019 2 ABSTRACT Fabian Unger: Stakeholder management in crowdfunded video game development Master’s Thesis, 155 pages, 7 appendices Tampere University Master's Degree Programme in Media Management May 2019 This case study examines, how stakeholder interests affect reward-based crowdfunded video game development, how managers cope with (potential) stakeholder conflicts, and the similarities and differences between crowdfunding video game projects of different scales. As research on stakeholder interests in the production of crowdfunded video games is scarce, this study thus aims to fill a gap in scholarly literature. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the field of managing crowdfunding projects using a reward-based model, to examine stakeholder-developer interactions and the management of interests in crowdfunded video games, specifically from a manager’s point of view. The outcomes of this study should provide valuable insights for media managers, who deal with varying stakeholders as part of the development of a crowdfunded video game. The study examines seven cases of crowdfunded video games developed by video game companies using a reward-based financing model. It takes a qualitative approach, using semi-structured in-depth interviews with a sample of one employee per company in charge of the overall game development process. The results demonstrate the various ways in which stakeholders influence the development process, similarities and differences of crowdfunding projects of various size, and the impact of crowdfunding on the video game development process in general.

  • Resident Evil Series
    Zombies, Phallic Monsters, and Rocket Launchers: An Examination of Gender Representations and Simulations in the Resident Evil Series Christopher Alton A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Communication and Culture, York University, Toronto, Ontario May, 2020 © Chris Alton, 2020 ii Abstract Capcom’s Resident Evil series (1996-present) is the second longest running horror video game series, following Konami’s Castlevania (1986-present). The series has, from its beginning, offered a choice of gendered protagonists with associated unique narrative and gameplay experiences, to say nothing of the gendered nature of the series antagonists. In this dissertation, I examine how gender dynamics, norms, expectations, and subversions are depicted and represented across the games in the Resident Evil series. I use an approach which embraces presentation (the ways characters are depicted in audio/visual terms), narrative (what roles characters play in the stories), and gameplay aspects (what the player is tasked with in the games, and how they are expected to succeed) of the main games in the Resident Evil series. Using key texts on the ontology of video games, gender/sexuality in the horror genre, and intersectionality/international feminism, I examine the whole of the Resident Evil series, as well as the guides and making-of materials, spin-offs, offshoots, and contemporary reviews. How the choice of male versus female protagonist choice is delineated, paired with the ways in which characters, male, female, and otherwise, are portrayed in relation to one another is the larger focus of this dissertation.
