By exploring the intersection of gaming, urban studies, and IoT, the research discusses how mobile games can play a role in addressing contemporary challenges in urban sustainability, mobility, and governance.</p><p>This paper explores the evolution of digital narratives in mobile gaming from a posthumanist perspective, focusing on the shifting relationships between players, avatars, and game worlds. The research critically examines how mobile games engage with themes of agency, identity, and technological mediation, drawing on posthumanist theories of embodiment and subjectivity. The study analyzes how mobile games challenge traditional notions of narrative authorship, exploring the implications of emergent storytelling, procedural narrative generation, and player-driven plot progression. The paper offers a philosophical reflection on the ways in which mobile games are reshaping the boundaries of narrative and human agency in digital spaces.</p><p>This research explores how mobile gaming influences cultural identity and expression across different regions. It examines the role of mobile games in cultural exchange, preservation, and the representation of diverse cultures. This research investigates how mobile gaming affects sleep quality and duration, considering factors such as screen time, game content, and player demographics. It provides insights into the health implications of mobile gaming habits.</p><p>This study examines the sustainability of in-game economies in mobile games, focusing on virtual currencies, trade systems, and item marketplaces. The research explores how virtual economies are structured and how players interact with them, analyzing the balance between supply and demand, currency inflation, and the regulation of in-game resources. Drawing on economic theories of market dynamics and behavioral economics, the paper investigates how in-game economic systems influence player spending, engagement, and decision-making. The study also evaluates the role of developers in maintaining a stable virtual economy and mitigating issues such as inflation, pay-to-win mechanics, and market manipulation.
