Dear C.R.O.N.U.S. Employees, We are happy to announce that Encased has been nominated for the Best Role Playing Game Award at this years gamescom! If you want to check out the full list of Award Nominations, youll find it here: https://www.gamescom.global/the-gamescom/gamescom-award/ And dont forget to vote for Encased as the most anticipated game of Gamescom 2021! https://www.surveymonkey.de/r/gamescomawardconsumerawards ------------------ When a number of media outlets previewed Encased last month, we noticed that very few explored the more unique playstyles Encased has to offer. To find out why that was, we spoke with Dr. Rachel Kowert, who said: Our in-game avatars are often a means of experimenting with many possible selves, either as we are our actual self or an idealized version of ourselves. The characters we create in-game are very often closely related to who we are out of game. Theres also a personal development aspect to this too. Research at Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab found players who were helpful to NPCs in a video game were then more helpful to others in real life too. Its called the Proteus effect and yes playing video games can make you a better person; other studies have produced similar results. There is an entire field of research looking at how digital role play in video games can impact how we think and behave out of game. For example, seeing a digital version of ourselves being successful in these spaces can become a catalyst for changing thoughts and beliefs we have about ourselves. Here you can watch our new trailer showing off some of the more unusual ways you can play Encased: [previewyoutube=sGwZsKd8LAo;full][/previewyoutube] Setting your intelligence as low as possible Not talking to anyone and being permanently in the shadows Being a pacifist and only using non-lethal weapons Acting like a serial killer And if you want to learn more about Encased and the psychology behind how we play video games, take a look at this Interview between Gamereactor and Dr. Rachel Kowert here. Remember: Encased comes out 7 September! Only two more weeks to go!
