Project Description

“The look and feel of the game is similar to the game ‘Sims’. The player controls one character and his/her interactions with the world around them. The theme of the game revolves around mental disorders. The game will have different levels representing 3 different ages of character (Age -15-35-65). Each level will have 5,3 and 1 round/rounds respectively, with each round representing the morning routine of one single day. Each round will end as the player chooses to leave the house through the exit door. If a player succeeds in completing the round/rounds of each level, he/she will progress onto the next level/age. The mission of each level is to make the character survive by changing the normal structure of each day’s routine. The challenge is to find a way to be different each round in terms of the order or way of doing everyday tasks, or not to do them at all by completing a check-list that will be hidden from the player at all times during the game. To be different in each round the player will also be required to play mini-games within the game itself which will allow the player to be different each round. To accomplish this task the player will be required to use a trial and error approach. The objective of the game is to challenge the player to come up with creative solutions to problems that are not even clearly visible to him/her. Another objective of the game is to raise mental health awareness. “

I really love the concept of this game as from a game design perspective it was very interesting yet subtle. The themes are dark yet at the same time raise awareness. During this game, I learned a lot about collisions, Player input and level loading. UI Design was also implemented. A lot of these things were not necessary yet I had lots of fun implementing them in the game.
