Game Design Concept | Alzheimer's disease

I imagined consciousness and memory carried by a fish shoal, and Alzheimer in the shape of a thief or a blackhole that gradually erodes and consumes the shoal.

Shoal, Consciousness

Consciousness and fish shoals share a common characteristic: they are both complex systems that exhibit patterns and emergence. Comprised of vast numbers of simple units (neurons for consciousness, fish for shoals) adhering to fundamental rules, they give rise to intricate behaviors and structures.

Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer is way more complicated than people thought. Beyond memory loss, it entails cognitive impairment, persistent hallucinations, and loss of bodily control, etc. In very short time it could bring the patient’s mind away from the original world and into another space.
