What better way to try to prevent malaria than having people fight the disease, videogame-style. U.S.-based Psyop Games and U.K.-based Against Malaria Foundation created mobile game Nightmare: Malaria to raise awareness about the importance of nets in preventing the mosquito-borne disease. Inspired by a PSA, which was created through Psyop’s non-profit initiative Establishment for the Greater Good (EGG), the game drops players into the bloodstream of a girl infected with malaria and tasks players to save the damsel in distress. Oh, and if that isn’t enough to interest you, Susan Sarandon lent her voice to it.

Check out the PSA above and the trailer for the game below:
