Abstract
Research regarding players’ behavior, choices they make, strategies they employ, and how they communicate with each other during the play is the subject of scientific interest for a long time. This calls for creation of tools that could be used during such a research. Given the increased involvement of serious games in scientific projects, usage of a serious game as a tool for gathering and analyzing a player’s behavioral pattern, appears to be a reasonable choice. This paper describes the development process of a serious game in the form of a two-player strategy, which uses subversive mechanics in order to encourage users to reinterpret their approach to conflict-cooperation strategies. Its further aim is to analyze data regarding players’ choices, gathered by the game, and contents of questionnaires filled by the players participating in the project.
