Time Enforcers, a revolutionary role-playing video game and digital comic book, is changing the way we learn about history. Founded by CEO and Creative Director Paul Hebert, the game gamifies historical education, allowing players to thwart the time-altering schemes of the evil Chronolith and his minions. By immersing players in different eras and civilizations, Time Enforcers provides a fun and interactive way to learn about the past.
Learning History All by Playing a Game
Time Enforcers stands out in the gaming industry for its unique approach to game-based learning. Unlike other educational games, Time Enforcers is built on the principles of universal design, making it accessible to players of all levels. The game employs visual messaging tools through word and thought balloons, character animations, and voice-over narrations. This multi-sensory learning experience enhances the retention of information and supports critical thinking and cognitive skills.
“The game’s narrative and storytelling are built around investigating historical figures and cultures,” says Paul Hebert. “This foundation allows for a non-biased inclusion of different civilizations’ races, creeds, and religions, promoting cultural awareness and creating learning opportunities about national and international cultures.”
A Game for All Learners
One of the most significant aspects of Time Enforcers is its commitment to inclusion and accessibility. The game’s design incorporates visual and audio elements to cater to various learning styles, ensuring that players can see, read, hear, and learn the game’s message. This inclusive approach makes Time Enforcers a valuable tool for educators and learners alike.
Combining STEM and Humanities
Time Enforcers is not just about history; it seamlessly integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education with humanities. This combination provides players with a comprehensive educational experience that is both engaging and informative. “Although other game-based learning programs are available, there is a significant lack of options that combine universal design with STEM and humanities education,” explains Hebert. “Time Enforcers fills this gap by offering a fun and interactive way to learn about these subjects.”
Episode One: Time Out of Time in Feudal Japan
The first episode of Time Enforcers, titled “Time Out of Time in Feudal Japan,” has recently been released. This episode takes players on an adventure through Feudal Japan, where they must navigate historical events and characters to prevent Chronolith from altering the course of history. Available on PC and Mac platforms, the game will soon be released on the Apple App Store and Google Play, expanding its reach to a broader audience.
“We’re excited to build our fan base and encourage gamers to purchase the first episode,” says Hebert. “Our goal is to make learning about history an engaging and immersive experience.”
