Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Two experiments examine the effects of narrative on game players’ feelings of presence and evaluation of the game. In Experiment 1, participants (N = 30) played a computer game either directly without any intervention or after watching a 5-minute narrative movie about the main game character. The results showed that watching the narrative movie positively influence game players’ feelings of presence, and their evaluation and enjoyment of the game. The effects of narrative on game evaluation and enjoyment were mediated by the players’ feelings of presence (physical, spatial, social, and self presence). In Experiment 2, participants (N = 24) played a computer game after reading either the script of the narrative movie of the game, or a script of non-narrative contents such as the technological requirement of the game. The results of Experiment 2 almost perfectly replicated those of Experiment 1 and indicated the existence of strong narrative effects in computer-game playing. Implications of the current study to the study of presence and the design of computer games are discussed.
