Swazi Yolo

HIV and sexual health awareness game

Where will your choices lead you? Embark on a personal adventure as you meet people, make friends and discover potential love interests. Who do you want to date and how far are you willing to go?

You’ve just returned to your home in Swaziland and your sister wants to help you meet new people. Not only does she take you to the hip new café where all the locals hang out, she also shows you a new social media and dating application where you can find a potential love match. Who will you fall for? Gorgeous and fiery Victoria or charming and studious Pepi? Will you party the night away at the hottest nightclub or pick a quiet restaurant for an intimate date? Or will your journey lead you elsewhere? The choices you make in this game have a major impact on the story you experience so choose carefully!

Swazi Yolo is an interactive role-playing game created in collaboration with Dr. Behkumusa Lukhele at the Kyoto University. It is an educational game designed to raise awareness about STIs and other aspects of health and dating within the Swazi context.
