<\/div>Gamer Fuel<\/strong><\/h2>Just like “Back to the Future Part II” predicted, Gamepads are so old-fashioned.<\/p>
A new pill acts as the controller for a new video game out of Australia’s Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. In “The Guts Game,” two players will have anywhere from 24 to 36 hours to kill off a digital parasite by raising and lowering the temperature of their digestive systems as measured by the pill, reports<\/a> New Scientist<\/em>.<\/p>Eating for Two<\/strong><\/h2>Players are encouraged to do whatever they need to raise or lower their body temperature and kill off their virtual bugs: eat spicy food, drink ice water, go for a jog, or anything else.<\/p>
When The Guts Game was presented at Chi Play 2018<\/a>, a gaming technology convention held in Melbourne in late October, New Scientist<\/em> reports, the developers reassured the crowd that any temperature changes in the body were completely safe. After all, people eat spicy food and exercise all the time; there’s nothing about doing so for a new video game that suddenly makes it dangerous.<\/p>Presumably, The Guts Game’s version of cheat codes would be popping the pill before sweating your virtual parasite out in a sauna, but since you would have to buy each single-use pill, this sort of defeats the point.<\/p>
Race Against the Clock<\/strong><\/h2>Like all good things in the world, this game too must end. Players in The Guts Game are in an endless race against time, against whom there are no victors.<\/p>
Win or lose the game ends the moment the controller leaves the body.<\/p>
