Call of Duty
Game : Hair Nah
Comments on the general aesthetic:
The style is cool as it has an old school 80’s aesthetic, which is appealing now as it stands out from video games today.
As the game has a simple concept and straight forward goal, this aesthetic is suitable
The design of the game has an arcade feel to it.
Does the aesthetic of the game appeal to you?
Yes, the concept however is not for me.
Does this game appeal to you, if so why?
I see the actual game as pointless playing as it is not targeted at me and all ou do is hit hands.
The message is interesting however it doesn’t solve the problem
Game : A Series of Gunshots
Comments on the general game:
As a game it does not seem fun.
Although it mentally tests you, there is not much else you need to do.
Majority of people are already desensitised to gun violence therefore this would have been more effective 10 years ago.
There is not much impact – social media has things that impact more aka videos.
This game might be more suited to the older genera ration
Does the aesthetic of the game appeal to you?
Really love the aesthetic.
Game : Phone Story
Comments on the general game:
You can see the game is dated from the old iPhone mock-ups.
The concept is good, and teaching this through a game makes sense, however it does seem as if it is for another time. The graphic are dated but not so far back that it looks cool.
Does this game appeal to you, if so why?
No, it looks too old. If it had better graphics maybe, however it is still a very dark and cynical game I would only play once.
Game : Consume Me
Comments on the general aesthetic:
Looks messy, I do not like the illustration or colours.
Does this game appeal to you, if so why?
No, its aimed at girls and also I don’t think playing a game to show you how dieting can be stressful very useful to my life.
Game : Forest
Comments on the general aesthetic:
Very peaceful, clean cut and modern aesthetic.
The use of circular shapes reflects the idea of thinking about the world as a whole.
Nice peaceful colours.
Looks easy to use and therefore makes it more likely to be used.
Does this game appeal to you, if so why?
Yes. The concept it really good and the aesthetic is really nice.
I like how when you use technology this app offers a way of giving back to nature.

Game : Hair Nah
What video games to you play? (If none then say none)
Sims, Mario Kart
Comments on the general aesthetic:
The typography fits with the rest of the theme
The colours are youthful and colloquial
The theme is youthful and appeals to the right target audience for this game
Overall positive responses
Does the aesthetic of the game appeal to you?
The aesthetic gives off a ‘star doll’ aesthetic. (A dress-up games for teens). This might be intentional to target young female teens and educate them.
The style of the game also is similar to the ‘clueless’ dress up game.
Does this game appeal to you, if so why?
The game does not appeal to us as we are no the target audience.
Game : A Series of Gunshots
Comments on the general aesthetic:
The game has a cold and eerie aesthetic which reflects the concept of the game.
The black and white building appear flat and still which might trigger more reflection to the players.
Does the aesthetic of the game appeal to you?
The target audience might be difficult to pin point as it might not appeal to both people who are not interested in shooting games as well as people who are.
Does this game appeal to you, if so why?
The game does not appeal to us as we do not like shooting games.
Game : Phone Story
Comments on the general aesthetic:
The game could be mistaken as being fictional with its cartoon aesthetic.
The design is trying too hard to reflect an old school video game; this takes away from the seriousness of the concept.
Does this game appeal to you, if so why?
We would not play this game.
I would play this game once out of curiosity.
Game : Consume Me
Comments on the general aesthetic:
The character of this game is unattractive, as someone who might be dieting this could make them feel as though they are ugly and therefore feel worse about themselves. This could put off players of this target audience for these reasons.
Does this game appeal to you, if so why?
I would not play this game as I am not dieting, if I was it also might put down my motivation.
Game : Forest
Comments on the general aesthetic:
The aesthetic is clean, modern and calming, suiting it to the aim of the game.
Does this game appeal to you, if so why?
This is a great concept and would appeal to those who care for the environment and find it difficult to concentrate or get easily distracted.
The game has the guilty factor or killing a plant, which is very effective
Yes, I would play this game. The real life aspect is very effective and separates it from the other games.
