Summary/Abstract: The study presents a phenomenological analysis of the value experience in the emotional immersion in games. The text shows two possible variants of this experience: emotional illusion and delusion. In the emotional illusion, players emotionally distance themselves from their hierarchy of values to enjoy the game. With emotional delusion, emotions motivate players to deny their hierarchy of values. The study explains this distinction in the context of certain theories of rational action.
