Valencia, Iowa: the Corona Connection

Valencia and Iowa came a little closer recently, thanks to the Corona Virus, with the launch of a new video game created by three Valencians, Carmen Fortea, Carmen Navarro and Bea Herdon, and their associate from Des Moines, Max Ward.

The game is called Call of Corona: Micro Warfare, and the proceeds from sales are being donated to WHO, the World Health Organisation.

From London, where they share a flat and unemployment, thanks to the virus, they have decided to hit back.

The game can be found on Stream for 3.99 dollars.

As they describe the game:

“When the world’s most famous actor, Tim Hanks, contracts Covid-19, the U.S. government chooses to use its experimental new program to save him; a swallowable pill with a cute, little, micro-soldier inside. Equipped with an anti-body launcher, the micro-soldier must travel to the source of the infection and shoot it to hell. The government only manufactured one packet of these pills, and after every soldier has failed to kill the virus, it’s down to the last pill in the packet to save the actor and the future of the Hollywood film industry.

Call of Corona: Micro Warfare is a satirical action/comedy game like none other. Forget what you know about gaming and the human anatomy cause we’re breaking the rules on both.

It is a single-player campaign game of 30 minutes.

The game was entirely created while locked up during the great quarantine of 2020. The goal of the game is to use comedy to lift the spirits of people as the world suffers through the Covid-19 pandemic together. All proceeds from the game will go to the World Health Organisation to help fight Covid-19.

This game acts as a charity as all proceeds generated from Steam sales will go directly toward The World Health Organisation to fight Covid-19.”
