Abstract
This study utilized purposive random sampling during beta testing of the game “O Ektos,” a 3D-PC real-time strategy game aimed at raising awareness about clean water and sanitation. Over 100 respondents, including BSIT students specializing in game development, web management, and digital arts, as well as executives and staff from the MWF organization, participated in the evaluation. Respondents tested the gameplay, promotional website, and overall aesthetics, assessing aspects such as mechanics, graphics, user interface, sound design, and storyline. Results showed that the game was well-received across all categories, highlighting its effective design and alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal No. 6. The game's combination of contemporary technology, engaging gameplay, and meaningful content positions it as a feasible tool for raising awareness about water pollution and sanitation issues.
