Abstract

This article presents a manifesto that proposes a shift in game design towards a non-anthropocentric approach, emphasizing the integration of non-human entities in sustainable design practices. The manifesto is associated with the philosophies and activities of the newly established Center for Non-anthropocentric Play, a research laboratory in Norway. It is structured around ten principles, drawing on insights from a variety of fields such as philosophy, sociology, ecology, media studies, interactive design, and game design. Ultimately, the manifesto seeks to cultivate new non-anthropocentric social imaginaries, aiming to transform the perspectives of both designers and players.
