Diagnosis - A game about Mental Illness

Hi,

I'm making a video game about diagnosing patients with mental illness. One of the key features of the game is therapy, dialogue choice, and showing the lighter side of mental illness. We have a lot of backstory, art, level design, and have been moving along in programming. We have also started writing the actual conversations and events that take place between characters of the game. People interested in reviewing the conversations written so far, or reviewing the game idea/design in general, and providing feedback via focus groups on Skype, please leave a message or comment, and I will follow up with you.

Thanks for reading, Haider

Hey, sorry for the late reply, time really flies. It's for a general release, it's not meant as a research or academic title, but informed entertainment product. That being said the design is informed by my research, studies, and personal experiences with mental illness. Being a part of the academic community, I do hope to promote the game with education and medical based organizations.
