Nano is a thrilling cellular adventure with real science in its DNA.
A strange virus is sweeping across the globe. As a trainee in a top-secret bioresearch program, you use your headset and haptic gloves to remotely control a nanodrone -- a tiny machine that gets injected into the human body.
With the drone, you operate a synthetic immune cell, jacking into infected patients around the world to fight their infections on the microscopic level, and ultimately track down and face the mystery virus itself.
You'll need to master the cell's living systems: you generate energy from food molecules, use the cell's DNA to manufacture a variety of proteins to keep the cell alive, and to combat invaders. This is not a science textbook -- it's a game to its core, but one that's based on real science. You've never experienced biology, or gaming, like this.
Excellent game! Well worth the price! Great narrative hook to start off with, then a good progression to build your skills. Excellent graphics, to a point where you feel like you're really fighting viruses. After a while, as you get more weapons and experience, you can figure out optimal strategies against what you're going up against. And you're going to need them! Trying to keep up with all that's going on will have you doing cell maintenance, amino collection, keeping your energy up, and trying not to die from pathogen attacks.
I finally finished the 'Extreme' level - took me 8 tries to come up with a way to handle the final onslaught. So what's next? Will there be a Nano 2? I'll be looking forward to the next installment!
I Love this game ! This game is great and I was never very good at biology. I wish they had this game when I was in class I would have learned everything so much easier. You are a nanobot inside of a person's body that is sick helping them function properly until you can find and kill the virus that is attacking them. Except this game isn't super easy You really need to be prepared to remember what they tell you. Once I got going I did not want to stop playing this game!
Enticing learning. By training I am in physics and optics but I often work on project collaborating with biologist. I yearned to learn more about our body but had no easy way in. The terminology I picked up in my job helps me to recognize them in the game. Now I get to know how that works! And I realized the game website has more learning tool to get familiarize which is what. I would be great and essential for player to dig deeper so the impact would go beyond just "graphical icon recognition" into solid biology learning tool. I thank you for such a wonderful game to push public science forward. Better educated citizens make a better world.
