Get what U see

The title itself is quite revealing. This is a fun game that focuses on an aspect of life that many of us struggle with: focusing.

The concept is simple, really. If you focus you can achieve anything you want and if you don't, you'll struggle. As it is in real life, so it is within our game. If you lose focus, the game forgets you. As soon as you lose the items from your view, they respawn back to where they were. But if you manage to keep in focus, you will leave a mark that will stay. 

Life is like a box of chocolates... yeah, a super cheesy quote but it holds true. You never know what situation life will put you in - but one thing is certain: whatever it is, you will just have to find your standing and work your way through it. Thats what this game is all about. Not an easy task... but if you focus, you can do everything. The real world never provides clear directions anyways.

So, enjoy! But as it is in real life so it is in this game - it's all up to you.

🤓 THE SERIOUS ASPECT 🤓

The game *focuses* both on raising awareness as well as training the player's ability to remain focused through the use of fun game mechanics, interesting challenges and a safe environment for trial and error.

In hopes of promoting bigger proactiveness and engagement the game relies on the player's ability to interpret the situation rather than follow given instructions. 

The aim of the game is to develop player's focusing strenght, personal adaptability and resilience to failure as well as hopefully enable player's to learn how not to give up. We feel like that's a good message to take home.

And we designed this game from teenage players to adults in mind - the mechanics are fun and fun is motivational. So, you know, just don't get distracted or something... and you got this!

👉 we discussed the potential of using this game to collect data for scientific research. An example would be a research question like: how goal setting and environment recognition influence goal achieving, possible by possing a simple question at the start of the game and comapring it to the resuluts.

👉 at some point in the future we wish to explore the therapeutic potential of this  game as training for those who struggle with ability to focus

But thats all far in the future.

For now, you Get what U see.
