An educational game made using Unity, built with the purpose of teaching people about the different types of medicine.
Note: Only the custom-created scripts will be uploaded. Other assets such as sounds, animations and sprites will not be included.
Creators: Jan Markus Milan, Jasper Caballero
Topics: Nursing / Pharmacology
How the topics are assessed:
The player has to identify the symptoms each patient experiences and determine the best medicine to give to them. The player will become increasingly familiar with each medicine the more they play the game. If the player has no experience with medicine, they will learn, and if they have prior experience, it will assess their knowledge.
Gameplay Mechanics – How to Play:
– Use the W, A, S, D keys or arrow keys to move
– Press ‘F’ to interact with NPC’s and the medicine cabinet
– You are responsible for assessing each patient’s illness. After identifying them, you have to go to the medicine cabinet and pick the best medicine. After choosing one, you go back to the patient and give them the medicine.
Accessibility / Optional Keystrokes:

Feedback / Scoring System:
– After a player gives a medicine to the patient, they are given a score (out of 3 stars).
– If the incorrect medicine is given, they get one out of three stars.
– If the partially correct medicine is given (not the best, but works), they get two out of three stars.
– If the correct medicine is given, they get three out of three stars.
