Include in your analysis:

• an example of a short term goal & the feedback for that goal
• which type or types of play does the game feature, according to the categories defined by Roger Caillois
• what types of players does the game appeal to / support
• if the game includes characters, choose one that is controlled by the player
  • is the character defined by the game or by the player?
  • in the character also controlled by any sort of AI?
  • is the character static or dynamic? why?
• what form of narrative storytelling does the game use
• is there a world built around the game
• what events in playing the game constitute the peaks of the emotional arc
