Abstract
Dubourg and Baumard (2021) posited that the key reason for the popularity and enduring appeal of imaginary worlds is that they "tap into preferences for exploration" and do so primarily in terms of the spatial environments of these worlds. However, we would argue that other forms of exploration may also account for the success and appeal of specific types of imaginary worlds, namely self-exploration within interactive imaginary worlds such as videogames.
