Panorama, Goiânia, v. 6, n. 2, p. 121-125, ago./dez. 2016.e- 2237-10872236-1685http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/21023This article analyzes how the melodramatic imagination is inserted in the narrative of the game of game Heavy Rain, developed by the company Quantic Dream, and the relation between the language of the game chosen as object of study and the films of the American Noir cinema. Because it is an investigative crime game, elements of the melodramatic imagination such as the restoration of order and the superiority of the good have been investigated and contextualized in order to identify how the structure of the melodrama is present in the narrative. Another aspect investigated is the aesthetic and narrative elements that relate to cinema noir.porAcesso AbertoVideogameImaginação melodramáticaCinema noirNovas tecnologiasHeavy RainVideo gameMelodramatic imaginationCine noirNew technologiesHeavy RainArtigohttp://dx.doi.org/10.18224/pan.v6i2.5261
