Spatial dimension of video game was discussed extensively within game studies, but the representation of the experience of places and milieus remains relatively unexplored so far. Mesocriticism, a perspective that account for the aforementioned experience in video games will be described in this paper. Through an analysis of the problematic articulation between non-places and local socialities of the urban milieu of Dead Rising 3 and the alternative experience of this milieu, it will be shown how video games, as simulations of a mode of inhabiting, propose a cartography of the Self, and therefore a better comprehension of our being-in-the-world. |
