Games have existed in movies where the character follows the hero’s journey and is faced with challenges. The character has a will to win and complete the game, but must keep in the boundaries of the magic circle, which is an area for the game to take place with its own set of rules. Stepping out of the circle would break the magic. In some movies where the character steps out from the magic circle of the game which they are put in, and suffer severe consequences. Why people watch movies instead of playing games is because the game in watching movies is putting themselves in the role of the character in the movie. Movies offer an indirect immersion into an alternate universe while games offer a direct immersion.
The game "Heavy Rain" is an interactive movie where you have to follow the actions of the character.
