The game involves choosing answers and actions while completing tasks. The decisions you make influence not only your success in completing the tasks but also the children's relationships. The boarding school psychologist acts as a teaching character, guiding the player throughout the entire process. A journal is accessible at any time, containing sections including a handbook of traits, children's cards, tasks, inventory, and a map. Movement between locations is accomplished by clicking on the room icons on the map, accessible from the journal.

For people with disabilities or social anxiety, games provide a safe environment for communication and a way to find like-minded people.

The jury awarded The Spectrum a first-place diploma. The project's directors, Semyon Shchur and Victoria Pedenko, both professors at the Institute of Social Studies (ISS), received certificates of appreciation.

Participating in competitions allows us to evaluate the quality of students' work and present the results to the expert community for qualified evaluation, noted Semyon Shchur.
