Brain - Games

In gaming, 'Brain' represents the cognitive engagement that defines interactive entertainment. It manifests through puzzle mechanics requiring logical deduction, narrative choices demanding moral reasoning, and strategic systems where resource management mirrors executive function. Games like Portal train spatial intelligence through environmental puzzles, while titles such as Disco Elysium simulate psychological introspection. The brain is both the player's tool—processing patterns, making decisions—and a thematic subject, explored in cerebral horror or sci-fi narratives about consciousness. This dual role elevates games from mere distraction to a medium that actively exercises and reflects on human cognition, making thought itself the core gameplay loop.
