Complex processes interact in the immune system. With this game we return once more to the image of the castle - as a memorising aid for certain aspects of these processes.

You can think of the immune system as a castle defended by a force against invaders. This helps to remember certain peculiarities. However, the image of the castle is more of an abstraction than an accurate representation of the immune defence.

This is even more true for the following game. It helps to deepen the picture of the castle and to clarify the correspondences between individual characters and important cells of the immune system. But the complex processes in the immune system had to be simplified for the game mechanics. The characters are much more one-dimensional than the variety of cells.

Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy playing “Castle”.

Note: You are seeing a Beta-version of the game. We do know that there are some bugs lurking in it. We are working on these.
