About the Project

The Suspects (Os Suspeitos) is a mobile game to assist psychologists in treating college students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It features 5 different focus-based minigames, in which the player must identify the suspects of a crime in a Shopping Mall.

The game is currently being used to assist students with ADHD. The therapist instructs the patient to incorporate the game into their routine and bring the results to the weekly appointment. That way, they can work on new approaches to fight the symptoms.

  • Designed 5 different game modes for specific psychological needs.

  • Investigated the relationship between interest and reward on players with ADHD.

  • Created the game pacing system to boost player retention.

  • Designed over 30 levels segments.
