“Rude Awakening”

Our app, ‘Rude Awakening’, is an app, or more so simulation game, about terrorism. Our app is a general app, it mainly talks about terrorism as terrorism is a rather big social issue and one that creates mass affects on both the people that experience it as well as the people who hear of it. Our app gives just a small, simplified glimpse into terrorist attacks and offers what can be done during said attacks. Not a lot of people know what to do in life-threatening situations like terrorist attacks other than just panicking, which can actually lead to worse things happening, such as death or capture. The other purpose of this app is to bring awareness to terrorism because though it’s such a detrimental issue in the world, it’s also one that isn’t necessarily talked about as much as it happens around the world.

‘Rude Awakening’ is made where there are two mini scenarios, both of which include pixelated special effects and choices that the player/user can pick on to see which one is correct and which one is wrong. Along with these, there is also an explanation that is given to go with the correct choice that is chosen. All in all, the app is basically an interactive, informative, choice game that allows its users to play and learn all at the same time.
