Campy Command: Nowhere to Run. (360G-Wellcome-101335_Z_13_Z)
We propose to develop an online game which has accurate content regarding Campylobacter Jejuni bacteria, with the aim of reaching audiences not normally engaged with the subject matter. We will achieve this with a free game made available across many online game portals (such as Kongregate), that uses toilet humour to convey scientifically accurate material whilst being fun and enticing to it's target audience. Game Synopsis: Life for little Campy was simple. There's not much to do whe n you're happily living in a chicken's gut. The chickens dont mind, it's business as usual for those guys. But something's not right. The usual flow of succulent amino acids has stopped, as has the flow of dangerous glucose, and Campy starts to suspect that the chicken might not be ok. Then the world as Campy knows it dissolves, revealing a harsh and hostile environment. This isn't right, this is a human gut, your gut. There's only one way out of this, and you're not going to like it ... Taking command over the Campylobacter Jejuni bacteria, players navigate their way through the human gut, an environment that gets more and more dangerous the longer you stay, as the human immune system is going to fight you with everything its got. But there is hope for Campy, by infecting cells in the intestine wall, Campy will be ejected from this malicious environment. Ejected, from human gut... Of course it might not be your gut, if your friend happened to get that poorly coo ked chicken portion...
