Hurricane Heroes

Pretty educational sim. As someone whose lived in hurricane territory all their life, I learned some new things, for sure. Also, as someone who experienced both hurricane Irma (which was the base inspiration for this game) and Maria, I got chills. Genuinely teared up at the reference to Puerto Rico in the credits, since I knew and lived what was referenced. Great job, truly.

I really enjoyed playing the game and loved the ability to carry out different tasks in relation to hurricane emergency response.

Hurricane Heroes is a game that I found interesting mainly because it approaches hurricanes from a very different angle. Instead of putting me in the middle of an action game where I am simply trying to survive a storm, it lets me experience what different people actually do before, during and after a hurricane. I liked that idea because it makes the game feel more like an interactive learning experience while still giving me something to do. The first act puts me in the role of a broadcast meteorologist trying to convince people to evacuate before the hurricane arrives. I liked this part because it makes the importance of communicating weather information feel much more personal. It is not simply about knowing that a storm is coming. I have to understand the situation and help communicate why people should take the warning seriously. The second act changes things quite a bit by putting me in the role of a weather science officer collecting information from inside the storm. This was probably the most interesting section for me because it gives me a better sense of how much information can be gathered from a hurricane. I liked the change of perspective because I was no longer jus…

I really enjoyed this

its okay, has good bones, the talking is SO slow though, very much a brain off game, it tells you exactly what to do

It´s actually a good game
