A Study on the Enjoyment Players Get from Choices that Do Not Affect the End Result

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Decision-making in games is an important element that makes them interesting through a sense of agency. In digital games, however, there are some choices that do not affect the process or result of the game. We conducted an experiment based on the idea that players find meaningless choices to be interesting. As a result, we found that even if the choices are meaningless, players form narratives and feel a sense of agency by making them, which makes them feel interesting.
