■概要 Summary
Immersive theatre constitutes a productive domain through which to examine how presence and narrative engagement function across media. This presentation investigates the intersection of game design practice with immersive theatre in the creation of 1881, commissioned by Malta’s national theatre as an intervention in the medium. Drawing on two decades of research into immersion in digital games, 1881 incorporates narrative branching, character alignment mechanics, and puzzle design to foster genuine audience agency and sustained environmental habitation. The presentation locates this hybrid practice within a theoretical framework while assessing design efficacy, yielding insights into the ways in which ludic frameworks can enrich immersive experience.
