Abstract
Storytelling is one of basic human activities and it has multiple purposes in human life: educational, socializational, therapeutic, and entertaining. In his work The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell claims that the path of the hero develops according to a similar pattern in mythology and literature worldwide and throughout human history because it reenacts in various historical and cultural contexts the same basic story of a kind of a rite of passage. People identify and sympathize with the hero and through his or her adventures and trials learn about themselves and cope with their problems, just as heroes manage to overcome monsters or complete various quests. Today, the advancement of technology and the emergence of contemporary media enables storytelling to assume new forms and achieve new levels of interactivity. Video games are such an example where the player can achieve a previously unattainable level of immersion by projecting their identity onto the character should they wish so, and influencing the narrative directly via their actions and decisions. This essay analyzes the main similarities between Campbell's Monomyth model and video game trilogies Mass Effect and Dragon Age and suggests that even the new digital media continue to observe the hero's pattern as outlined in Campbell's Monomyth.
