1	Repeating Despite Repulsion: The Freudian Uncanny in Psychological Horror Games Jespersdotter Högman, Julia January 2021 (has links) This thesis explores the diverse and intricate ways the psychological horror game genre can characterise a narrative by blurring the boundaries of reality and imagination in favour of storytelling. By utilising the Freudian uncanny, four video game fictions are dissected and analysed to perceive whether horror needs a narrative to be engaging and pleasurable. A discussion will also be made if video game fictions should be considered in the literary field or its own, and how it compares to written fiction in terms of interactivity, engagement, and immersion. literature game studies video game studies sigmund freud the uncanny english english literature literature studies english studies video game fiction written fiction silent hill cry of fear psychological horror horror horror games psychological horror games outlast P.T. games narrative narrative games linear horror games story games General Literature Studies Litteraturvetenskap
