Diegetiska effekter, icke diegetiska effekter, indexical -och environmental storytelling i relation till tutorials, vad händer när man introducerar spelets mekaniker med hjälp av dessa?
Denna artikel undersöker hur andra spel har använt sig av ovan begrepp för att introducera mekaniker och spelvillkor. Vi kommer diskutera hur environmental -och indexical storytelling tillsammans med diegetiska och icke diegetiska visuella effekter kan påverka spelarens inlevelse och förståelse av de grundliga mekanikerna i ett spelutrymme. Till följd av ett analysarbete av designexempel undersöker vi detta genom en egen gestaltning.

Abstract
Diegetic effects, non-diegetic effects, indexical and environmental storytelling in relation to tutorials, what happens when you introduce the game's mechanics with these concepts?
This article examines how other games have used these concepts to introduce mechanics and game conditions. We will discuss how environmental and indexical storytelling together with diegetic and non-diegetic effects can affect the player's perception and understanding of the basic mechanics of a game space. As a result of an analysis of design examples, we investigate this through our own design.
