"Help!" Is a 3D serious game designed and developed by the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Udine, Italy, in collaboration with the Regional Council of the Associations of Disabled Persons FVG. The game allows you to test your ability to help in emergency situations. In the game, you are faced with scenarios such as an earthquake or a fire, with the goal of helping a disabled person in the evacuation of a building. The different game levels deal with physical, visual, and hearing disabilities. For each disability, the initial level is a training gym that allows you to learn the concepts necessary to achieve the goal, under the guidance of a firefighter. The guidelines taught by the game are taken from this document of the Italian National Fire Corps: http://www.vigilfuoco.it/allegati/biblioteca/legge_disabili.pdf
