Abstract
This research utilizes a story-based video game titled A Space for the Unbound, which was released in 2023. The video game, produced by Mojiken Studio, encompasses themes of fiction, social environment, and mental health. Focusing in character development progress that made the author of this research questioned the psychology and social aspects in the video game. This study focuses on analyzing the sociocultural and psychodynamic aspects of the character Raya, who serves as the antagonist in the game. Based on this foundation, the author put two problem statements, consisting of the treatment Raya received from her environment and whether Raya's traits align with the norms and cultural values of society. To answer these questions, the author used two main theories such as, the sociocultural theory proposed by Lev Vygotsky and the psychodynamic theory by Sigmund Freud. The analysis is not solely based on these theories, but also involves examining elements of embedded storytelling, including dialogue, picture angle, color usage, and background music. Throughout the study, the author applied a qualitative descriptive method focused on evidence presented in the video game. In the end, this research is able to discover the curiosity that the author questioned. It was found that Raya receives negative treatment from her parents, teachers, and friends, as evidenced by specific scenes. Through more detailed research it was also found that Raya’s behavior does not align with the prevailing norms and values of society.
