Female-Perspective Games
Added 2023-05-05 13:00:06 +0000 UTCGreetings, one and all!
A female-perspective game is one in which the main protagonist, the person around which most actions and experiences revolve, is a woman. So, when it comes to text-based games that feature a female protagonist, do you prefer the narrative takes place in 2nd person perspective, or 3rd person?
Examples:
- In 2nd person perspective, "you" are the protagonist. So, the narrative reads as "You reach for the handle and open the door." In a female-perspective game, "you" are the woman, doing what she does and experiencing what she does. It's more immersive, but also potentially off-putting to players of a different gender.
- In 3rd person perspective, "she" is the protagonist. So, the narrative reads as "She reaches for the handle and opens the door." In a female-perspective game, "she" is a character you guide through the narrative and cause to take actions. It's less immersive, but may also be less off-putting to players of a different gender.
