Beyond Choices - the Design of Ethical Gameplay
Book • 2020
Beyond Choices: The Design of Ethical Gameplay examines how game mechanics and systems generate ethical experiences that go beyond simple binary choices.
Sicart argues for design approaches that foreground context, systems-level thinking, and the relational aspects of ethical play.
The book draws on design theory and philosophy to propose methods for creating games that engage players in meaningful moral reflection.
It critiques simplistic models of ethical decision-making in games and offers frameworks for more nuanced ethical design.
The work contributes to discourse on responsible game design and pedagogy.
