I would shift the game's prompt, rather then what was written you can do the following: To make the game more educational, we can focus on integrating learning objectives related to socio-economic factors, critical thinking, problem-solving, and resource management. The game is designed to simulate the challenges faced by individuals in impoverished, overcrowded environments. The educational purpose is to help students understand social and economic disparities, the importance of resource management, and the impact of external factors (like lack of education, employment, and healthcare) on survival and well-being.

• Resource Collection (Food, Water, Tools):

  • Players gather resources like food and water to survive in the overcrowded area.
  coBlocks
  When player is near (food resource)

• Job or Skill Building:

  • Players can find opportunities to improve their skills, like taking classes or finding jobs.
  coBlocks
  When player is near (education NPC)

• Health System (Managing Hunger and Thirst):

  • Players need to manage their hunger and thirst. If they don't find food or water, their health decreases.
  coBlocks

• Unlocking Opportunities (Escape Path):

  • To progress, players need to make decisions to unlock better opportunities, such as finding a job or improving their skills.
  coBlocks
