Özet:

 Although the concept of popularity has the meaning of belonging to the people, it has moved away from this meaning over time and is used with its recognized and accepted meaning by many people. The digital culture that emerged with digitalization is also fed by popular culture. As a result of the digital revolution, the internet is evolving towards digitization in individuals, relationships and social life, and with the combination of mobile technologies, it finds a place in both public and private spheres. Digital games, which are structured by creating their own scenarios within the framework of their own rules, offer a very comprehensive gaming environment where many people can play at the same time. In its scenario, this fictional game gives players identities in the virtual environment and identifies them with certain personalities. Although Turkish traditional games, stories, characters, developments in visual technologies, and Western-made games have been away from tradition for a while, it is seen that traditional oral culture has taken its place in developing technologies in order to protect cultural values and remind new generations of their own values. In this context, the Uruz: Private Persons Return game, designed with a narrative within the framework of Central Asian Turkish culture and mythology, was selected as a sample for the study as an important example of moving away from popular culture and re-presenting a narrative based on its own traditional culture in the digital game environment.

 Populerite kavramı, halka ait olan anlamı taşımasına rağmen zamanla bu anlamından uzaklaşarak, pek çok kişi tarafından tanınan, kabul gören anlamıyla kullanılmaktadır. Dijitalleşme ile birlikte ortaya çıkan dijital kultur de populer kulturden beslenmektedir. Dijital devrim sonucunda internet, bireylerde, ilişkilerde ve sosyal yaşamda sayısallaşmaya doğru evrilmekte, mobil teknolojilerde ortaya çıkan birleşmeyle kendine hem kamusal, hem de özel alanda yer bulmaktadır. Kendi kuralları çerçevesinde senaryosunu oluşturarak kurgusunu kuran dijital oyunlar, birçok kişinin aynı anda oynayabildiği oldukça geniş kapsamlı bir oyun ortamı sunmaktadır. Kurgulanan bu oyun, senaryosunda, oyunculara sanal ortamda kimlikler kazandırmakta ve belli kişiliklerle özdeşleştirmektedir. Turk geleneksel oyunları, öykuleri, karakterleri, görsel teknolojilerde yaşanan gelişmeler ve batı yapımı oyunlar nedeniyle bir sure gelenekselden uzak kalınmış olsa da kulturel değerlerin korunması, yeni nesillere kendi değerlerinin yeniden hatırlatılması amacıyla geleneksel sözlu kulturun gelişen teknolojilerde de yerini aldığı görulmektedir. Bu kapsamda Orta Asya Turk kultur ve mitolojisi çerçevesinde bir anlatı ile tasarlanan Uruz: Er Kişinin Dönuşu oyunu, populer kulturden uzaklaşma ve kendi geleneksel kulturu uzerinden bir anlatının dijital oyun ortamından yeniden sunumunun önemli bir örneği olarak çalışma için örneklem seçilmiştir.
