| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The image will be used in the article's gameplay section to demonstrate a core feature of the work, the decision-making mechanic. It depicts an example of an in-game dilemma in which the player's choice of action will significantly shape the course of the story, namely the decision to abandon an infected ally. The distinct visual elements present in the screenshot, such as the circular button prompt, the button borders that illustrate the passage of time, or the anatomical drawings of the brain or heart to symbolise rationality or empathy, cannot be conveyed properly through words alone. Thus, a screenshot will help enhance readers' understanding of the commentary on the work's gameplay. |
