Inspiration
We thought about the difficulties that a teenager or a young adult could have in their life, and quite frankly there are a lot of difficulties. The worst is that most people sometimes can’t even tell why they have problems or difficulties, which is one of the main reasons why suicidal rate among teenagers increased significantly over the past years. Therefore, we made a web app that will reflect over your life choices by running a short simulation of a teenager/young adult’s daily habits
What it does
Storyline mode: Different chapters of life. You can choose given options to go on throughout your run, each option changes the effect over your small character. At the end of each selection, you will get a report of results, including reminders of healthy habits and warnings of bad habits. With those comments you could be aware of the negative consequences and possibly have better life choices.
Game mode (exploding brain): inspired by the “krillion”, which is a very popular timed game that attracts people. All topics are related to mental health, giving teenagers opportunities to brainstorm and gain knowledge on healthy lifestyle.
Shop: Buy new skin, new cosmetic items, etc to make the game more engaging, which attracts more people to play and gain awareness
Financial control: Using money to make the experience more immersive
