I chose to play a number of the games that seemed to all put you in a first-person context. \u00a0The first game that I played was the game Spent. \u00a0Spent was a pretty well crafted game that was quite short and based on a number of decisions as a single parent that has lost everything. \u00a0It was an interesting play, well designed, and followed through logically.<\/p>\n
What I found with this game (and with others) is that they were designed to increase empathy for those that are less fortunate. \u00a0Each of the games had links to donate money at the end of the game to the cause and were quite short. \u00a0Because they were so short, it almost made me think that they were an in-your-face advertisements (even if for a good cause) and not intended to learn, but instead make you donate.<\/p>\n
This is a great collection of games all the same.<\/p>\n
Cheers,<\/p>\n
