How to Apologize to Someone You Hurt
An interactive scenario where users explore a good apology and practice their skills. This scenario employs a gamified user interface and cinematic animation, creating an immersive experience.
Background
Men & delivers resources to support men in their relationships and mental health. Based on research, Men& identified that many individuals accessing their resources were searching for similar things: information on how to apologize to someone they loved.
Solution
Hot Neon developed an interactive scenario where users could explore the components of a good apology and practice their skills. This scenario employs a gamified user interface and cinematic animation, creating an immersive experience. Users practice strategies for apologizing using real-world situations, with features such as branching scenarios, real-time feedback, emotive animation, gamification elements (e.g., an XP-style stress meter), and cinematic sound design, providing a video-game-like learning experience.
