A first-person clicker game which shows how easily mis-, mal and disinformation and fake news can spread across the globe. 

Explanation

This is my internship project from Japan, where, aside from the CGI videos which someone else makes, I work on my own. The topic of my game was “The development of serious games aimed at improving metacognitive abilities”. By simply clicking on an in-game share button (just like on social media) you help a message/post gain traction via the algorithm. I then show how easily different forms of mass communication influence how quickly a message/post can go viral. 

This is still a work-in-progress game, even after my internship has been finished already.
