Navigation in video games has been a vastly neglected topic in game studies. In this
paper a classification system for navigational acts has been developed through theoretical
work as well as the analysis of multiple games. The result is an exclusive five-step
classification system. Moreover, the development showed that navigational acts are
highly dependent on the environment in which they occur. The system is a first step
towards a deeper understanding of how the player navigates the gameworld, instead
of what she navigates
