“Elude” – the making of an impossible game

Right after the Games for Health Conference in 2009, Doris C.

They decided to use the internet and virtual reality to reach the digital natives easily, and to raise awareness of the difficulties and problems of depression amongst young people (and therefore become more willing to either seek help for themselves or others). But how to create such a game about depression? How to create a game that would be no fun? Rusch and Ceranoglu found the answers and now Elude“ is done!
