This project is designed to simulate the experience of being diagnosed and treated for hysteria. Using a custom-made controller integrated with a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit, the game delivers mild electric stimulation to players as a form of “treatment” for their imaginary illness. The game manipulates players into questioning their own perceptions of health and agency.
SCROOBLIES is a fantastically fun mobile game that mixes the complex sorting mechanics of the match three genre with the fast paced shooter elements of the shoot em’ up genre. The game also prides itself on having a very high quality art style and soundscape.
Scrooblies is available for iOS and Android, get your copy here: https://potionsstudios.se/scrooblies/
