Integrating psychotherapy practices and gamified elements in novel game mechanics for stress relief

Styliani Zygotegou, Georgios Anastassakis, Georgios Tsatiris, Kostas Karpouzis

We explore novel game mechanics and techniques in the domain of gamified and game-based mobile mental health applications. By combining modern game design elements with techniques applied by practitioners (e.g., therapists) and known mechanics used in relevant games, we developed an integrated mobile game. Playtesting with a group of individuals showed a positive response towards the study's claims and a promising direction for further research.
