What is immersion in adventure games

Immersion in the gaming world is a concept that involves the player being completely immersed in a virtual world. When done well, it makes the player feel as if they are actually inside the game, allows them to achieve flow and disconnect from the outside world.

To achieve this, game developers use a variety of techniques and technologies, such as:

  • extensive and detailed environments
  • maximally realistic graphics
  • sophisticated and realistic multi-channel sound
  • extensive and engaging scenarios and stories
  • extensive player choice and decision-making options
  • creating scenarios with multiple plots and the possibility for the player to influence the course of events in the game.
