[[Feelies]] are basically a type of [[Props]] that exist outside the main medium of a game in order to give [[Emotional Engrossment]]. By doing so they show the simplest way of creating [[Transmedia Games]] and their special status of being physical make them [[Diegetically Outstanding Features]]. They are typically design to support both [[Diegetic Consistency\|Diegetic]] and [[Thematic Consistency]].

	While many times [[Feelies]] simply provide extra experiential value to a game, they sometimes also can help gameplay. One example of this is the map of the Underground Empire shipped together with [[Zork I]] which gives some hints to players.

[[Feelies]] are a type of [[Props]] so the main design challenges associated with them are similar to those of [[Props]] in general except for the physical design of them. Since [[Feelies]] are extra elements provided specifically to provide additional experiences the diegetic and narration aspects of them, for example supporting [[Diegetic Consistency\|Diegetic]] and [[Thematic Consistency]], become even more important to them than to other game elements. One particular choice they offer is to give players [[Clues]] or to provide [[Red Herrings]] for them.

			[[Maps]] can be used specifically to provide [[Feelies]]. Another option is to create [[Player Aids]] that have [[Thematic Consistency]] as well as [[Diegetic Consistency]] for its medium (not all [[Feelies]] are [[Player Aids]] since not all of them provide narrative or gameplay information).
