Gameplay Controls

  1. Advance through the game by selecting the options available to you. In certain instances, there will be only one option available whereas in other instances there could be multiple options you can choose from.
    *Sometimes these options will link you to external sources of information that are helpful for your learning process. They will open in a different tab in your browser so you can always come back to where you left the game.
  2. If the game tells you that you have selected the wrong option, you get the chance to go back to the previous scene and try again a different option.
  3. You can go back and change any decisions you made using the "arrow" key in the top left corner. This also allows moving forward on the track you have selected so far.
  4. There are no save functions. Each chapter runs for around 15-20 minutes. You can try out different chapters on multiple occasions - there is no need to complete them all at once!
  5. For the best game-based learning experience, we recommend using the "fullscreen" function.
  6. If there are any further questions, feel free to contact us through the channels shared on the "Contact" page.
