Evaluation
Relive is a free-to-play sci-fi adventure game about CPR awareness, developed as a non-profit grant-funded project. It launched on October 15, 2015, and received a small flurry of post-launch activity: a bug fix update on October 16, 2015, a Dutch language update on November 24, 2015, and an English voice-over addition on March 10, 2016. That March 2016 post is the last known communication from the developer. The game was explicitly built with funding from the "Future of Health Award" — a specific, one-time grant — rather than ongoing commercial revenue, which is consistent with a project that was developed, shipped, and then wrapped up. There are no unreleased DLC, no roadmaps, no announcements of future content, and no developer posts since March 10, 2016. The early update activity tapered off naturally, and the studio itself noted in the October 2015 patch notes that this is a non-profit experimental project, directing supporters toward their commercial titles for ongoing support. All signs point to this game having been completed as intended when it shipped.

About this game
Relive is a game about cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but it is also an adventure game. The main purpose is to increase the awareness about this topic and push people,
especially teenagers and young adults, to take a CPR classes and be prepared to intervene in case of need.
While the topic is serious, we tried to create a fun and entertaining game, a SCI-FI opera where players can enjoy their gaming experience while the CPR concept slips through the game. To move forward in the story and complete successfully Relive, you will need to learn the bases of CPR, in an interesting and non-invasive way.
To keep the CPR skills razor sharp a tournament mode encourages group play. Family, schools and friends will be able to organize fast and fun CPR challenges and see who will be able to beat the best score.

Why CPR?
In Europe every day 1.000 people die of cardiac arrest. If immediate CPR is performed, the chances of survival remarkably increase. In more than 70% of instances, cardiac arrest is witnessed and CPR could be initiated by bystanders. As of today, in Europe only in 15% of cases witnesses perform CPR (European average). Taking a CPR class is the best way to rise this 15% of bystanders and save lives with no additional risk.Is Relive really free?
Yes, Relive is completely free. The development of this game was made possible thanks to Future of Health Award, which purpose is to “bring serious gaming and healthcare together in order to contribute to more advanced healthcare across Europe“.Project Coordinator
