The topic I chose to delve into was healthcare related to the mental health of international students. As an international student who is deeply troubled by it, I hope to explore the possibility and specific ways for international students to get help and cure by studying this topic.

Judging from the current situation, international students face serious mental health problems, which are mainly caused by culture shock and the inability to integrate into the host culture, resulting in higher incidences of depression and anxiety. At the same time, due to language barriers and other factors, it is difficult for international students to obtain timely and effective medical services. Fortunately, a lot of researches and investigations are focusing on and trying to solve this problem, which also gave me a lot of tips and inspiration.

I hope to create a game that can bring strong resonance and comfort to the international student community, make them feel understanding and hope, and empower them through the game. The game will be like a text game, letting the player enjoy the life of the protagonist and get redemption from the protagonist get redemption.

To quote a paragraph from my report: “In today’s society, the distance between people has been shortened through the Internet, but the distance in reality has become further apart. Many people choose to use games or other media to fill the holes in their hearts. I hope to create a game that is gentler and more supportive than other media, helping those who need understanding and love.”
