Do you make small leaps in your chair while attempting challenging jumps in Tomb Raider? Do you say Ouch! when a giant hits you with a club in Skyrim? Have you had dreams of being inside the underwater city of Rapture?

Videogames cast the player as protagonist in an unfolding narrative. Like actors in front of a camera, gamers' proprioception, or body awareness, can extend to onscreen characters, thus placing them physically within the virtual world. Players may even identify with characters' ideological motivations.
