Re-Mission by HopeLab is a well produced game where you play Roxxi a character battling a variety of cancer cells inside various human patients. The game is filled with important information and lessons about cancer and as such aides cancer patients in understanding what their condition is all about. Rigorous testing and research showed that the information and experience gained from playing Re-Mission could significantly improve patients self-esteem, and knowledge of cancer.
