With Them: Frontlines – A Game to Tackle Veteran Mental Health Crisis!

Since the video game industry boom, it has been a powerful tool for entertainment and escapism. But, there is a game that does not only entertain but also raises awareness about veteran mental health. Launching on November 27, 2023, "With Them: Frontlines" is a first-person shooter game that features real military veterans and their experiences. The game intends to reduce the high suicide rate among veterans of the video game generation.

The game is developed by ‘ORE System’ based in Austin, TX, USA. The organization utilizes technology, particularly video games, to showcase the stories of veterans who have shared their experiences and encourage others to do the same. With the utilization of wearables and smartphones, the game can collect data and share it with healthcare providers that facilitate a more direct discussion between patient and provider.

The game will have two main components: Stories and Experience. The "Stories" will feature a first-person experience to remove the stigma of a veteran sharing their experience and story through gameplay. The "Experience" component will be a multiplayer first-person shooter portion of the game that provides a gameplay experience similar to Call of Duty (CoD) but features real military veterans as playable characters.
