'Nightmare: Malaria' App Is Dark, Creepy And Raising Disease Awareness

by Amy Corr @MediaPostOTL, February 12, 2014

Random iPhone App of the week: To raise awareness and funds for fighting malaria, Psyop created a creepy, dark video game, called "Nightmare: Malaria." Inspired by a PSA created through Psyop’s nonprofit initiative, Establishment for the Greater Good, the game drops players into the bloodstream of a young girl infected with malaria. Players must move through 18 levels of fever-dream nightmares, avoiding killer mosquitoes by hiding under nets and collecting teddy bear tokens. Each year, more than 1 million people die from malaria. Contracting malaria can be prevented by sleeping under an insecticide-treated net that cost about $3, according to the Against Malaria Foundation. Download the game in the App Store.
