a unique game created for the Patient73 Gamejam 2024! Its primary aim is to make learning about rare diseases entertaining through gameplay!
Featuring six mini-games, each designed to educate players about different rare diseases.
A.I ROBOT COMPANION
Your trusty companion guides you through learning about rare diseases and navigating the laboratory environment.
- The first mini-game introduces players to Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), inspired by "Flappy Bird." Avoid viruses to prevent illness!
- The second mini-game educates players about Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD), which affects the human immune system. Avoid viruses for as long as possible!
- The third mini-game teaches about Phenylketonuria (PKU), where players collect healthy foods low in phenylalanine for individuals with PKU while avoiding unhealthy ones.
- The fourth mini-game is beneficial for players and patients alike, teaching about Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) through a simple memory card matching game, aiding players in improving memory!
- The fifth game explores Monochromatism, a form of complete color blindness. Players experience the symptoms by navigating the game in black and white.
- The sixth game, inspired by Whack-a-Mole, aims to improve players' reaction times and may also assist individuals with Huntington's disease.
The main goal for players is to learn about rare diseases by engaging in entertaining minigames. However, if players study and master them all, they may receive an in-game prize as a token of appreciation for playing the game!
Access a wealth of information about randomly selected rare diseases from a vast list!
Progress, including high scores and story, saves across both Web and Windows versions. Feel free to exit and continue anytime!

Unfortunately, due to joining the gamejam late, I didn't have time to create all 3D models. However, all technical aspects were developed by me.
