The definition continues: "The goal of Emotioneering is to move the player through an interlocking sequence of emotional experiences." Freeman has generated some 1500 techniques for broadening, deepening, and enhancing the quality of a piece of interactive entertainment. The techniques are grouped into thirty-two broad categories, and are designed so as to bring to gaming a degree of emotional authenticity that has historically been neglected by the majority of game designers.
