Harrer, Sabine2020-01-312020-01-312018978-3-8394-4415-3https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/14067How can videogames portray love and loss? Games and Bereavement answers this question by looking at five videogames and carrying out a participatory design study with grievers. Sabine Harrer highlights possible connections between grief and videogames, arguing that game design may help make difficult personal feelings tangible. After a brief literary review of grief concepts and videogame theory, the book deep-dives into examples of tragic inter-character relationships from videogame history. Building on these examples, the book presents a case study on pregnancy loss as a potential grief experience that can be validated through game design dialogue.engCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 GenericTodTrauerDarstellungGame Studiesattachmentgriefmedia designart therapy79410.14361/978383944415310.25969/mediarep/13145
