iRescue is an immersive 3D game that places the player within an airport after a disastrous event. As a member of an elite paramedic corps, the player’s objective is to guide the evacuating panicked crowd towards a safe pathway. Diverse and unpredicted simulated crowd behaviours, gradually advancing crowd density and difficulty, as well as special actions, aim to capture the player’s interest in an entertaining and challenging experience.
An aircraft’s controls have malfunctioned during landing and it has crashed on the main terminal building, causing serious damages to the airport building structure. Rifts and debris are everywhere raising havoc among the passengers. Only an elite paramedic can deal with the situation and is the first to respond to the site by motorcycle, in order to guide the passengers to safely evacuate the building without falling in a rift.
The main objective of the player, is to save as many persons as she can, in order to achieve a better score and rank.
iRescue is also developed as an active game (exergame), using the Kinect sensor for the tracking of the player’s movement and position.
