Concept

Charlie DeLorey

The concept behind my video game is to create an interactive novel. It's kind of like a choose your own adventure book, but with more educational aspects integrated into the story. The educational aspect of my game is in the realistic use of medical terminology, equipment, diseases and their treatments. The general storyline for my game is a hospital setting, where the player is a new doctor in the hospital. The first few days they will learn where all the important medical devices are and where important medications are. After the tutorial, the player would begin working with patients, treating illnesses and advising other doctors if they need second advice. Over time, patients will either return with new symptoms or new patients will come in with their own symptoms. Also for example, if the player were to treat someone with pneumonia, the player would keep them under bedrest in the hospital for a few days, so the player can monitor their recovery.
