The contrasting internal and external dialogues of the main character in "The Chosen One" vividly illustrate the theme of isolation. The character occupies a unique position in the kingdom, leading to a sense of isolation from those they interact with in their daily life. This isolation serves as a self-constructed mechanism, a product of past experiences that have shaped the character's perspective. Choosing isolation becomes a preferable option over interaction, as the character anticipates compromised treatment due to their position.
This self-imposed isolation is reflected in the character's inner dialogues, providing players with a deep understanding of their emotions—an insight often elusive in the real world. Drawing parallels to "Isolation: Places and Practices of Exclusion" by Bashford et al, the scenario aligns with the "subjectification of the isolated, serving as both an official project of modern exclusion and a crucible for the cultivation of selfhood".
The main character's isolation gives rise to two conflicting personalities, resulting in a harrowing internal struggle for self-definition. This psychological tension underscores the profound impact of isolation on the character's sense of self, a complex dynamic explored within the narrative of the game.
