Simulation Walkthrough
Tell us about yourself
Before you start the game, you will be asked to fill in some details about your age and gender. This is anonymous and will only be used to make sure we are creating age-appropriate content.
Understand the objective
There is no single objective for the simulation, as success means different things to different people There is a bigger point, though - the simulation is designed to help you understand different lives.
Choose a character
Now we're getting started! You'll try all three but you can choose between Arthur (mental health), Belinda (learning disabilities) or Curtis (low-income) first.
Read your character profile
Each character has a very specific backstory. (Don't worry: you can click on the profile icon in the bottom left to remind yourself.) Have a think about what life as this character would be like - and how it is similar or different to yours.
Ready... set... go!
You're now ready to start the game. You will be presented with a series of situations and have to choose your (character's) response to each.
Features
Illustrations
Background scenes and choices are illustrated to provide a more visual experience.
Carefully Crafted Storylines
Each character has a unique backstory and a curated set of scenarios. Different choices are available and can lead to different outcomes.
Badges & Indicators
The choices in each scenario present compromises/sacrifices. They have an impact on the character that you are playing and it' worth looking out for the changes that are brought forth by the actions taken.
Empathy Workshop & Curriculum
Besides developing the online simulation that allows users to live through the daily lives of the characters and understand the challenges they face, Soristic also develops workshop curriculum to enable workshop participants to further develop an empathetic and inclusive mindset that will not only make them better future leaders but also contribute to a more inclusive society.
