About
Cold Turkey is a web experience built on p5.js with the aim of exploring the tolls and symptoms of heroin addiction.
Cold Turkey was developed as a part of the Creative Coding course at Politecnico di Milano.

Project Idea
We chose not to explicitly show drug use in our project; instead, we employ one central metaphor, that of depth and altitude. In this experience, the player avatar's altitude level represents the emotional reaction to drug use: the high obtained from consumption is represented by high altitudes, while the pits of abstinence are represented by the lowest depths.
As the experience progresses, the player will find it harder and harder to reach the same high, simulating addiction, and eventually more information about the symptoms of consumption will become available, providing an option to break the cycle and reach balance once again.
