Description:
According to research, over two thirds of UK teens are either agnostic or atheist. Based on the hypothesis that a person’s understanding of death is guided by their religion, the absence of one suggests that the majority of teens are largely unsupported when trying to make sense of it.The End is a free, online web-game commissioned by Channel 4 Education, to ‘make death easier’. It is a game of self-discovery of 14-19 year olds which integrates strategy, puzzles and philosophical questions into a world which explores a range of commonly (or less commonly) held views about death, philosophy and science.The micro-talk explains the approach Preloaded took to designing a game about death as well as presenting insight into the player’s views on mortality, generated from the equivalent of 11+ years of non-stop gaming.PARTICIPANTS:Phil Stuart, Creative Director, Preloaded
