Sleep-deprived mom game, I felt like I could not relate to this game a lot, yet I was curious to know what are the challenges that a mom usually faces in her day to day life and what are her options to overcome them. I learned that you can not always avoid doing something, and that you always end up with the burdens of the child no matter what. I wish there were more options and different scenarios that were added to the game, along with visual aids.
Game on responsible partying I felt like I connected with this game, as at this age I was put into very similar situations where I had to make these very same decisions and so I related to this game very much as it was very realistic to me.I learned about consent and binge drinking, and I found the consent video to be a very out-of the box idea on how to explain consent. However I felt that the first video about binge drinking was a bit long and could have been to the point more.
Depression Quest while playing this game I was able to imagine the situations clearly due to the descriptive method used in writing, and I learned how a lot of the times we do not understand how the struggles of a depressed person can be unseen from the surface and that it is not at all easily fixed by “unwinding” or just doing any simple activity to distract you. Also, I learned that even the activities that would usually bring pleasure to a normal person, can be unbearable and not pleasurable for someone depressed. However, I felt that the game needed to be shorter as towards the end I was not able to concentrate and read every single word written.
Factitious game, I really enjoyed playing this game, as it was short, to the point and fun to guess whether the news was fake or not. Meanwhile, I also learned to check the source for credibility of the news.I think just that they could have sometimes removed the source and made us guess using other errors only, such as spelling mistakes.
The four games that I played were extremely different from each other, as each game had a different style in using visuals,the first game had no visuals at all, the second was only one picture but there were 2 videos to watch,the third sometimes had small pictures inserted , which I felt did not add much to the experience as the game was descriptive enough for me,
and the last one had the pictures that came with the article. I wish they all had visuals as I feel this adds to the overall experience of the game and includes me more while playing the game.
