Existential Ethics and Tactical Realism: Sartrean Moral Frameworks in Ready or Not
Existential Ethics and Tactical Realism: Sartrean Moral Frameworks in Ready or Not argues that the tactical shooter Ready or Not functions as a viable laboratory for Sartrean existentialist moral inquiry.
- The report argues that Ready or Not, a tactical shooter, serves as a viable laboratory for Sartrean existentialist moral inquiry, since its realistic simulation, irreversible failure states, and multiplayer coordination give player choices genuine existential weight.
- Existing game-ethics frameworks based on utilitarianism, Kantian deontology, and virtue ethics are judged to handle complex dilemmas poorly, while Sartrean concepts such as abandonment, finitude, freedom, bad faith, and authenticity are proposed as a more suitable lens.
- Unlike branching narratives such as The Walking Dead and The Witcher 3, which let players revisit or soften consequences, Ready or Not's unpredictable mission resets and session-level permanent failures give its choices a finality the authors link to Sartrean responsibility.
