The Radiation Mystery
The Radiation Mystery is a game designed to help alleviate anxiety in children (and their close ones) with cancer facing radiotherapy. It is a point and click game played in the browser where you control a dragon, a raccoon or a fox that is facing radiotherapy. The game allows the player to explore the clinic and surrounding environment, familiarize themselves with treatments and procedures.
The game also tasks the player to also find fantastical creatures called Moji Mojis in the environments they explore, to ultimately help the creatures get back home to their planet.
The game is entirely free and funded as part of research and development money. It was developed by the Department of Game Design and the Department of Children and Women's Health at Uppsala University, in collaboration with the Skandion Clinic. The game was developed as part of research conducted by Dr. Catarina Cederved.
The environments and treatments were modeled after those in and offered by the Skandion Clinic, which means that they might differ from treatments and environments in other clinics.
Our hope is that the game can offer comfort!
