Project Overview
How does the immune system protect us when bacteria and viruses enter the body?
"Invading the Human Body" is a touchscreen game designed around the immune system. In this game, players can freely choose bacteria, viruses, dust, and other foreign agents to embark on a challenge of "invading the human body." By engaging in battles with various immune cells within the game, it leads the audience of the exhibition to a deeper understanding of how the immune system operates.
Inspiration
Viruses Attacked!

Having gone through the tough times of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's become even clearer how humans coexist constantly with external factors like bacteria and viruses. The arrival of viruses often happens silently, without warning. That's why in this interactive game, inspired by the idea of "Random Attacks by Viruses," we're approaching it from a different perspective.

Character Design & Settings

I've designed various background settings for the human characters in the game, such as wearing masks, having wounds, or receiving vaccinations. This was aimed at increasing the challenges for players and creating a game mechanism that allows for multiple playthroughs.

Game Design

The audience can choose between four main characters: dust, bacteria, virus, or cancer cells. The gameplay utilizes a horizontal scrolling mechanic. Once the virus successfully invades the human body, it encounters various defense mechanisms by immune cells within the bloodstream. Players will have to drag the viruses, attempting to invade the body.
