About This Course

Have you ever wondered why games are so attractive?

This class will introduce you to the psychology of games in several ways.

For example: How can we perceive the game? Are our actions in the game completely out of our own thinking and will? Are we all players different from each other? How do we view our own successes and failures in the game?

I hope this course can help you re-understand games from a psychological perspective. Furthermore, it is possible to better think about how to design games from the perspective of player psychology.

Requirements

You should love games and played some games.
