The concept describes a narrative trope where a character’s consciousness is transported into the virtual world of a gacha game that the individual previously played and then discontinued. An example would involve a person finding themselves embodying a character within the game’s storyline, despite having ceased engagement with the game for a significant period.
The appeal of this premise stems from the combination of wish fulfillment and exploration of established lore. It allows for the potential to rectify perceived shortcomings in the original game’s narrative, interact with favorite characters in a more immersive way, and leverage prior knowledge to navigate the game’s challenges. The trope also offers a fresh perspective on familiar game mechanics and character dynamics, potentially enriching the overall experience.
