Blobtricity (c#)
Blobtricity is an applied game which had as goal to get people more aware of the CO2 emission. Ofcourse are people already aware of the general CO2 emissions but a lot of people don't know that our electricity usage takes a big part of the emission as well, especially the internet usage. So in this game your goal is to reduce a certain amount of electricity in the city. You could achieve this by turning off lights, but it doesn't reduce that much electricity and can be quite dangerous. Then you notice those blobs that are walking around the city with their mobile phone in their hands. You try to keep them off their phone by helping them and you see the electricity reduces by a lot. You start helping more of the blobs with their goal. Does the blob needs to go to a certain place in the city? Bring him there instead of letting him use his phone.
