For those interested, the technology this game is inspired by is Spatially Offset Raman Spectroscopy, being trialled in a UK hospital. More info here: <a href="http://www.stfc.ac.uk/CLF/Facilities/Ultra/Highlights/15073.aspx" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.stfc.ac.uk&#x2F;CLF&#x2F;Facilities&#x2F;Ultra&#x2F;Highlights&#x2F;15073....</a><p>The diseases in the game are all based on the potential uses of the technology. The graph patterns for the gameplay are all based on SORS readings from scientific papers.<p>I&#x27;m writing an education guide so that this game can also be used in schools. It covers certain Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Geography topics at roughly a High School Level (UK: GCSE&#x2F;A-level).<p>Feedback most welcome!

Dunno if this is an alpha version, but personally I think the visuals are a mess. Papers, Please (since you cite it as element of comparison) was very charming from this point of view - as every grapahic element of the game fell within a precise style and was presented very cleanly.<p>Here we have stereotypical green light terminals, OCR Font mixed with Mission Impossible strikethrough font mixed with bitmap fonts mixed with serious fonts: cartoon portraits with flash-style-shaded body illustrations with real life pictures.
