  • Abstract
    In this article it is argued that the player´s experience in playable spaces and game environments is related to his/her autonomy into the emergent platform in terms of narrative and fiction. Player´s are able to experience multiple situations and to collaborate for the progress of the platform itself. This article presents some transmedia experiences such as Uncle Roy All Around You (Blast Theory, 2003), Why So Serious? (Warner Bros., 2007), Heartlands (´Ere Be Dragons, Active Ingredients, 2007) and Playing with Poetry (Gouveia et. al, 2010).
