Description
Herbal Madness is an educational simulation game designed to raise public awareness about Traditional Chinese Medicine among young adults. Limited exposure to Traditional Chinese Medicine contributes to underutilisation, misconceptions, and a generation disconnect. By offering an interactive and engaging approach to Traditional Chinese Medicine education, Herbal Madness aims to bridge this knowledge gap. Players will interact with non-playable characters, interpret their health concerns, and craft herbal tea using the right combinations of herbs. Throughout gameplay, players can learn about the properties of each herb. Developed using the Unity Engine, the game will be available on the Windows platform and will support the English language. Usability testing yielded positive results, with an average System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 69.08, indicating that Herbal Madness is an effective tool for enhancing learning about Chinese herbs and their remedies. This project aims to empower players with knowledge about herbs and their application while ensuring the continued relevance and cultural preservation of Traditional Chinese Medicine within modern healthcare.
