FORMAT & STRUCTURE
-
Single-player virtual game developed in Twine - SugarCube.
-
The game guides players through 8 scenarios across a Monday through Friday schedule, each presenting realistic college dilemmas with three possible choices.
-
The goal is to reach the end of the week with academic performance and personal well-being in balance. Players must monitor three internal resources when making choices:
-
Brain Power (Cognitive): ability to encode, store, and retrieve information.
-
Energy (Physical): biological fuel.
-
Stress (Psychological): internal pressure level and mental noise.
-
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The game has as objective to teach students how to navigate stressful college situations, while developing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills:
-
Self-Awareness: recognizing how personal choices affect cognitive, physical, and psychological well-being under pressure.
-
Self-Management: practice regulating stress and energy through intentional decision making.
-
Responsible Decision Making: weigh trade-offs between academic performance, social connection, and personal well-being.
INTERFACE DESIGN
-
Tone: the scenarios are drafted using Carol Dweck’s Fixed and Growth Mindsets to help students see the same challenges through different perspectives.
-
Fixed Mindset: reactive and pessimistic choices
-
“I’m going to fail no matter what.”
-
“This is a sign I shouldn’t be here.”
-
-
Neutral Mindset: avoidant and passive choices
-
Growth Mindset: intentional and adaptive choices
-
“I don’t know this yet...”
-
“45 more minutes, then a 20-min break”
-
-
-
Aesthetic: clean user interface, dashboard showing progress, descriptive text for each scenario, and multiple choice nodes.
-
Color Palette:
-
GAME DESIGN
-
Points: players start with 50 points in each resources (brain power, energy, and stress). Early choices have small impact and later choices carry more weight.
-
Branching + Bottlenecks: mid-game stats determine which version of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday the player sees, creating distinct paths through the second half of the week. With a bottleneck on Thursday night.
Look at my brainstorming process:
HOW TO PLAY
-
Read the Scenario: Each day (Monday–Saturday) presents unique academic and social dilemmas. Read the context carefully to choose the best way to respond to the situation.
-
Choose your Response: Choose one of the three options presented.
-
Monitor the Dashboard: You will start your dashboard with 50% in each resource (brain power, energy, and stress). Watch your resource meters after every choice.
-
Reach Saturday (Ending): Your Saturday morning scenario will serve as a reflection of how you traded these resources to reach the end of the week.
POSSIBLE ENDINGS
-
Burnout (Low Energy + Low Brain Power)
-
Meltdown (Low Power Brain + High Stress)
-
Social Survivor (Low Brain Power + High Energy)
-
Middle Ground (Mid Stats)
-
Perfectionist (High Brain Power + High Stress)
-
Resilient Navigator (High Brain Power + High Energy)
