## What is Antidote COVID?

Just as the COVID-19 pandemic is starting to sweep through the world, Antidote Laboratories receives a strange package. You are assigned to study it and WHAM!, get thrown into the frontlines of medical science. Based on real events and loaded with useful facts about COVID-19, the Antidote COVID-19 takes you on a science adventure!

• Defend the stem cell against viruses and bacteria
• Build your own protective maze
• Strategic tower defence gameplay
• Learn about vaccines and the immune response
• Inspired by real-world science

Antidote is fun and its characters are cute and colorful. Yet the threats are real and so are the answers. See for yourself how COVID-19 attacks the body. Read about other viruses and bacteria from the encyclopedia. Learn how the interaction of different cells in your immune system keeps you alive. Create vaccines against the coronavirus and figure out how they work. 

Based on WHO’s guidance and inputs from public health experts, Antidote COVID-19 mixes fun strategy gameplay with real facts. The game can’t cure COVID-19 but it can be a potent medicine against ignorance and false information. 

Getting vaccinated shields us from the coronavirus. Understanding the facts shields us from misinformation. This is why you can become the shield against the pandemic by
1. getting vaccinated
2. downloading Antidote COVID-19
3. encouraging your friends to do the same.
Until we all get vaccinated, knowing what we are dealing with, following instructions and taking the proper countermeasures are the best ways to keep our families and loved ones safe.

Antidote is inspired by science and loosely follows real-world biology. It depicts the constant struggle between the human body and invading microbes. The game takes place on a petri dish in a laboratory, so the player can directly observe and affect the events. All 13 defensive units are actual white blood cells and all foes, including the coronavirus, have been taken from real-world diseases. While behaviors have been altered to facilitate better gameplay, their names are correct and the Antidote Encyclopedia contains real-world descriptions of both friends and foes.

Player’s task is to defeat waves of hostile pathogens and collect research points. These enable the player to unlock new and better vaccines, enabling the player to beat even the most difficult levels. Vaccines in Antidote COVID-19 work just like in real life, teaching the immune system to respond to the attacking pathogen without triggering the associated disease. This grants the patient immunity, as if the patient had already recovered from it. It is a worthy goal, both in-game and in life. 

If the players want to know how some game element works in real life, all they have to do is look it up in the Encyclopedia. Besides the cells and pathogens, it contains information on medical procedures, biological processes and the history of medical science. While the game aims to be fun and cuts corners in the interests of smooth gameplay, the Encyclopedia texts have been vetted by experts. Furthermore, knowing the properties of foes can give the player an advantage in strategy.   

Antidote COVID-19 is free to play. Science belongs to everyone and the development team wishes to spread the joy of discovery. So download Antidote COVID-19 today, plan a cunning tower defense strategy, defeat pathogen threats, browse the encyclopedia and learn about the immune system and vaccines as you go!
