Lens # 1: The Lens of Essential Experience

To use this lens, you stop thinking about your game and start thinking about the experience of the player. Ask yourself these questions:

What experience do I want the player to have?

What is essential to that experience?

How can my game capture that essence?


If there is a big difference between the experience you want to create and the one you are actually creating, your game needs to change. You need to clearly state the essential experience you desire, and find as many ways as possible to instill this essence into your game.
