The Magi and The Sleeping Star is a Kickstarter campaign with a cause. In this fantasy adventure game by Game Equals Life, your hero will battle against ancient kings and robots, as well as a very real-word problem, type 1 diabetes.
Developer Adam Grantham is a game designer who has lived with type 1 diabetes for over 19 years. He's always wanted to make a game that will help people better understand the disease, which is how he thought up the idea for The Magi and The Sleeping Star. If the game is funded, not only will it help people to learn about diabetes, but kids who have been newly diagnosed will finally have a hero to look up to.
"The Magi and The Sleeping Star is unlike any health game before," explains Grantham on the Kickstarter page. "Rather than coming from the realms of medical research and academia, it comes straight from the game industry. I knew from the beginning that if the game wasn't fun, it wasn't going to be teaching anyone anything. So we designed a core game that was strong enough to stand alone as an exciting, evocative adventure."
