About the solution
Shadow's Edge is a ground-breaking mobile game aimed at aiding young individuals grappling with serious health challenges. Developed by Digging Deep, a non-profit organization founded by Sheri Sobrato Brisson, a brain cancer survivor, Shadow's Edge uses therapeutic storytelling as a means of helping players cope with their experiences.
In the game, players navigate a city named Shadow's Edge, symbolizing the turmoil and upheaval illness can cause in life. The city, once vibrant, has been devastated by a storm, and the player's mission is to rejuvenate it. This is accomplished through journaling and creating graffiti, serving as creative avenues for players to express their emotions and thoughts.
The game integrates quests and characters who guide players on their healing journey, with narratives designed to mirror stages of emotional recovery. As players advance, they're encouraged to reflect on their experiences, emotions, and thoughts regarding their illness or disability.
Shadow's Edge aids in fostering emotional resilience among its players. It offers a secure, immersive platform for self-expression, emotional exploration, and personal connection with their experiences. The game, while not a substitute for professional therapy or medical treatment, offers an innovative supplementary tool for traditional therapeutic methods.
Shadow's Edge is steered by a team of psychologists, educators, and gaming professionals. The team continually refines the game based on player feedback and recent research in psychology and gaming. This ensures the game remains an effective tool for emotional healing.
Shadow's Edge is freely available on mobile devices. It represents a significant development in the intersection of gaming and healthcare, demonstrating the potential of digital platforms in supporting mental and emotional health. However, it's important to stress that it's not a replacement for professional medical advice or treatment.
