In the case of Muv-Luv Alternative, though it was categorized as “Typical School Adventure” on the net, it was described as “Fairy tale of Love and Courage” in specific eroge magazines, and there was a caption stated on the package of the disk, “Promised Development of Opportunism, Super-easy Love Romance AVG”.

The fusion of the world-axes that form the fictional world that can be seen above, and the possibility of their implied semantic dimensional expansion, seems to suggest the existence of a kind of teleology that governs the development of the universe itself, in response to the law of increasing entropy in the physical world. Since it is said that the experience of consciousness in the physical world and the resulting judgment do not lead to modification of physical attributes, it does not bring about any kind of “evolution” that embodies mental orientation as hardcore Darwinian theory of evolution claimed in the 20th century, and the world is no more or less than a provisional “survival of the fittest” manifestation governed by accidental mutation and environmental changes. The universe was nothing more than a purposeless thing that was at the mercy of the principle of the physical laws.
However, the creation of the fictional world and the reality shown by the detailed description of it seems to indicate a definite “evolutionary” tendency. The reality of the generation of mental phenomena revealed not only in the phenomenal phase but also in the psychological domain and its fictional description, which is a direct reflection of it, seems to reveal a testimony to the reality of the teleological evolution of the universe. It seems necessary to reexamine the spiritual experience in the psychic manifold space, where mind and phenomena influence each other, in the context of game world experience.

Game Study Muv-Luv Alternative
Video Game and Manifestation Modes of Possible Worlds


Focusing on the video game Muv-Luv ALTERNATIVE, we will examine the characteristics of the game work presentation that has materialized on a computer screen, together with the possibility and actuality of the expansion and transformation of the means of expression of fictional world manifested through incorporated media such as print, image and sound; as a consideration on the potential implication of the genre called computer games.
By actually playing the game as a visual novel, which is a mode of unique fictional presentation that superimposes a story and a symbolic conceptual structure, presented in visual artistic expression that is both interactively operated and appreciated, we will be able to discuss the philosophical characteristics of video games as a new genre and the unique subject represented in it.
