Posteriormente, con el objetivo de precisar cuál es la particularidad que diferencia al videojuego de otras formas de simulación, se propone la categoría de Inmersión como uno de los rasgos particulares de este medio. Para explicar esta idea se revisa críticamente el trabajo de algunos de los autores más destacados que han profundizado en este concepto, contrastándolo con diferentes definiciones canónicas del juego a lo largo del siglo XX y con reflexiones más recientes provenientes del estudio del videojuego. A partir de este recorrido se revisa el caso del videojuego “Atrapados” (Jaime Alejandro Rodríguez, 2014), usando los conceptos de simulación e inmersión para explicar su funcionamiento.application/pdfspaUNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO NARIÑOhttps://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/papeles/article/view/309/255https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Papeles; Vol. 6 No. 12-13 (2015); 47-62Papeles; Vol. 6 Núm. 12-13 (2015); 47-62Papeles; v. 6 n. 12-13 (2015); 47-622346-09110123-0670videojuegossimulacióninmersiónVideo gamessimulationimmersionVideo Games as Immersive Simulations.
