Immune Defense – Biochemistry Strategy Game

Immune Defense

:: DESCRIPTION

Immune Defense is a Real Time Strategy (RTS) game. The player deploys 7 types of white blood cells against bacteria, parasites, viruses and even cancer… Our goal is to teach the basics of cell biology and biochemistry in an intuitive way. To beat Immune Defense, the player needs to know what proteins do, what receptors do, how cells respond to signals in the environment, how random events lead to predictable behaviors … Additionally, the player battles HIV, TB, Listeria, a Malaria-like organism and learns exactly how vaccination is helpful, why viruses are difficult to detect and why TB and AIDS are so difficult to overcome.
