Title:\u00a0<\/b>Lil\u2019 Baby Pills<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Description:\u00a0<\/b>You as a player have to log into the game to take your birth control pill every day on time within a 5 minute period. If you fail to do so, you will have a virtual pregnancy (the game will have a baby in a messy teenage room) and you can\u2019t restart the game – can\u2019t make mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Art\/Research statement:\u00a0<\/b>I want to play around with real-time references in this game. It\u2019s to show the importance of using contraceptives, specifically birth control pills, correctly. I wanted to make a game where the player can only make the same mistake once and has to stick with the consequences. Experimental and risk elements include the short duration of each game-play, the day-long wait before the next gameplay, and the risk of the player not bothering to play at all. My parameters for success would include recurring playthroughs – to have the player come back into the game for a least a few days in a row before they see the consequences of making the mistake of missing a pill.<\/span><\/p>\n
