Studio: Ludico (King's College London)
My Role: Game Design, Narrative Design, UX Content
A realistic laboratory simulator for neuroscientific protocols. Using scientific methods, you must test, stain, and examine brain tissue. Carefully consider each step as you advance, for one wrong move could prove disastrous.
Neuroscience: Laboratory Techniques is a 3D laboratory simulator developed for King's College London, designed to help teach postgraduate students about immunohistochemistry and double Immunofluorescence protocols.
Based on learning from one of the UK's best universities for science, this game authentically replicates the feeling of being in a laboratory while teaching players how to study, care for, and preserve brain tissue.
Work through the protocol to properly prepare your tissue samples, but be sure to take care. Neuroscience is a delicate practice and even the slightest mistake can destroy all your hard work.
