Portuguese term

afeccional

Portuguese to English Other Media / Multimedia
European PT, from the name of a university degree course.

The name of the course is "Jogos Interactivos e Estratégias Afeccionais".

I have never seen this word in Portuguese before, it's not in my dictionaries, and Internet references are scarce.

Obviously the course title is a bit academic/esoteric, so I am hoping to find an English word that captures this.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

It seems to refer to techniques designed to elicit emotional (i.e., "affective" responses).

Boa sorte.
