Abstract
The aim of this article is to demonstrate the relationship between Another World and Emmanuel Lévinas’s philosophy of dialogue. The researcher, taking into account the French philosopher’s reflections on separation, atheism and Face, proposes to read the work of Éric Chahi as a self-reflective form of authorial expression. Another World is not only a thorough look at the relationship between players and the Other, but also a reflection on programming as a simultaneous catalyst for isolation and opening up to the Other.
