“We fight off host and cellular immune responses with armies of our virions, RNA genomes, and viral proteins. We steal energy and manipulate cell resources to spread our infection. We are infectious, we are disease, we are the Raven Virus. We have numbers and speed on our side, use us wisely or recklessly.”

The game won the Bronze Medal in the 2011 Serious Play Awards. You can download the app or play it online at their website.
