Abstract

In this paper, I propose an analysis of digital games as devices capable of arising affections. Bearing this in mind, the paper analyzes two autobiographical games based on travel experiences. The cases in this case conjugate an intimate relationship between memory, abstraction and an attempt to apprehend reality through the testimony. More specifically, I seek to observe the bodily affections with regards to the game experience.
