Abstract
Social class inequality is the stratification of classes based on wealth, income, influence, and access to resources. Individuals who are categorized as low class face unequal access to basic needs, inaccessible health services, deterioration of mental health, entry into the poverty cycle, and crime. As suggested by the relative references, the factors of social class in the Philippines are underemployment, unemployment, and income inequality. In alignment with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 10 entitled Reduced Inequalities, the proponents' objective is to raise awareness towards social class inequalities in the Philippines by creating a 3D first-person action investigation game entitled Overdrive to showcase a premise based on the experiences of the lower class and its possible solutions. The development used the SCRUM development cycle methodology. The game is accompanied by a Content Management System-based website to promote the game materials. To gather the data, the proponents conducted beta testing among IT students of the FEU Institute of Technology, and a few external technical and non-technical individuals. The testing was followed by a Likert scale questionnaire which gathered the satisfaction level of the game and assets, integration of the study within the story, and the website. A weighted average mean was utilized to evaluate the data. The overall data resulted in a mean of 4.35 which interprets a ‘Satisfied’ rating towards the created game and conducted project.
