Thank you, Alex. Unfortunately, all I have from Gone Jason is the anecdotal
evidence I described. I may have the original power point, which was the
lead up to the interactions with actors but I will have to search for that.
And yes, I agree - fabulous - making interactions tricky and playful based
on the player's ability to parse and/or conquer an in-game character's
psychological state adds depth to games. I would like to do more of these.
It hasn't figured in any of the games we have designed since that first one.
Too bad. Maybe one for the University of Leicester????  What was
particularly interesting to me was that the players so thoroughly got caught
up in it because it was occurring over the phone. Anyway, more to come.
Best, John
