Abstract: We manipulated high versus low levels of narrative and graphics quality, examining their effects on participants’ text-choice-based video gaming experience in an immersive desktop environment. We found that narrative quality, more than graphics quality, enhances participants’ narrative experience satisfaction, narrative transportation, and social presence, with some gender effects.
