Compliance Review
A real Android game-development project with an existing application foundation. The current gameplay is being evaluated, and a substantial redesign toward interactive simulation is planned. The full simulation is not yet complete.
The Concept
Planned Gameplay Features
The player is intended to take on the role of a Junior Security Analyst within a fictional technology company, investigating simulated computer systems, responding to suspicious activity and learning from the consequences of decisions.
Learn cybersecurity by interacting with simulated systems, investigating threats and making meaningful decisions.
The planned direction moves beyond conventional multiple-choice quiz gameplay toward investigating systems and responding to contextual scenarios.
Where the Project Stands
Existing application foundation
Under evaluation
- An existing Android application foundation is available.
- The current gameplay experience is being evaluated.
- Appropriate existing components may be retained, while others may need refactoring.
Planned
- A transition away from quiz-centered interactions toward a desktop-inspired cybersecurity simulation is planned.
- The full simulation experience remains under development.
The Planned Experience
Planned Gameplay Features
Planned / AUTH
Password Authentication System
Players will explore password security and safer account-protection practices through simulated authentication.
Planned / COMMS
Communications Channel
Players will encounter planned scenarios involving impersonation, social engineering and suspicious requests.
Planned / PROC
Process Manager
Players will investigate simulated suspicious processes and potential malware incidents.
Planned / OSINT
OSINT and Privacy Scanner
Players will explore exposed personal information and understand digital footprints.
Planned / DATA
Data Classification and Server Router

Why It Matters
The long-term objective is to make cybersecurity education more practical and memorable by helping students recognize common digital threats, understand the consequences of their decisions and develop safer online behaviours.
Project Perspective
Terminal: Threat Level represents my interest in building educational technology that teaches through interaction, realistic scenarios and meaningful consequences.
