Daybreaker

Dark patterns for good: can gacha be saved?

Daybreaker is a habit tracking app that helps motivate you to do chores and stay healthy - or anything else you decide. Meet and hang out with unique characters - can you collect them all?

I researched the similar effects of live service games and habit tracking gamification, then applied that understanding to make Daybreaker. The design centres voluntary participation and consent to create a more ethical kind of gamification intervention.
