Abstract
En uno de los paneles de la reciente exposición, Videojuegos. Los dos lados de la pantalla (Fundación Telefónica, 2019) se podía leer que "el videojuego está internado en multitud de ámbitos, generando un alto impacto en la cultura". Como expresión visual de la modernidad, entre sus preocupaciones se encuentra no solo divertir al gran público, sino ser un instrumento de concienciación y manifestación de la problemática de la sociedad en la que nace. A lo largo del presente texto, y a partir del análisis del juego Emporium (2017), queremos mostrar cómo la soledad, el suicidio y el desarraigo toman visibilidad a través de narrativas que revelan las preocupaciones más íntimas del ser humano, nacidas en esta ocasión a partir de la propia tragedia personal sufrida por el autor. Pequeñas obras, de no más de 45 minutos, combinaciones melódicas de imágenes y texto, en las que asoman como breves pinceladas introspectivas algunas de las principales preocupaciones de la contemporaneidad, tales como el suicidio.

As a visual expression of modernity, one of its concerns is not only to entertain the general public, but also to be an instrument of awareness and manifestation of the problems of the society in which it is born. Throughout this text, and based on the analysis of the work Emporium (2017), we want to show how loneliness, suicide and estrangement become visible through narratives that reveal the most intimate concerns of human beings, born on this occasion from the personal tragedy suffered by the author. Small works, no longer than 45 minutes, melodic combinations of images and text, in which some of the main concerns of contemporary life, such as suicide, appear as brief introspective brushstrokes.
