Abstract
In recent years, the rapid expansion of social media has ushered in a “post-truth” era, in which emotional appeals and personal beliefs increasingly overshadow factual information. In this study, we developed a generative AI-based journaling RPG as a means of learning about these social dynamics. By immersing players in a simulated election scenario, the game aims to help them experience and better understand how information bias and extreme viewpoints arise. Preliminary playtest results suggest that it effectively encourages deeper reflection on the interplay between politics and the media, as well as assists participants in organizing their own opinions. However, participants also highlighted the need for improvements in text volume and presentation. Future work will focus on refining the design to address these issues and meet diverse learner needs.
