Indie developers honour frontline medical workers fighting the coronavirus in a new game
You only get 15 minutes playing as a doctor, his daughter and a patient, but Chinese gamers adore the heartwarming story
“There’s no hero who falls from the sky. There are only mortals who step in at perilous times.”
That’s the message conveyed in a new game about the lives of the people most affected by the coronavirus outbreak in China.
When you first fire up the game, you play as a young girl whose parents are medical workers. Your father is a doctor who’s currently on the front line diagnosing patients while your mother was a nurse who combated the Sars outbreak back in 2003.
The game lets you experience the love and concern the daughter has for her father. But you also get to play as the patient and the father. So the game allows you to experience what it is like being caught in the middle of the outbreak from different vantage points.
