The TAMITOS game is a 3D platforming adventure for children, families and classrooms. Every handcrafted level is a playful lesson about the world of autism: sound sensitivity, big emotions, sensory overload, focus and friendship, turned into jumps, puzzles and discoveries.
It is an educational video game that builds empathy and understanding while children simply have fun. Available for PC, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
A different feeling in every level
Play with meaning
Every level, a new feeling to understand
Guide the Tamitos through worlds inspired by real sensory experiences. One level is loud and overwhelming, another quiet and calm.
As children work through the levels, they learn how autistic children feel, and build empathy through play. It is social and emotional learning hidden inside a fun 3D adventure for ages 6 and up.
A world to explore
Handcrafted worlds made to be felt
From frozen cardboard jungles to cosy paper villages, every corner of TAMITOS is made to spark curiosity. Children explore, climb and investigate, and along the way they discover the feelings that make each Tamito who they are.
Level design
Different levels, different missions
Every level in TAMITOS is a different mission about autism awareness. Children do not just play, they explore what it is like to sense the world in different ways, mission by mission.
Ice Cave
A loud world about sound sensitivity, where every noise lands harder than it should.
Busy Castle
A mission about focus and overload, where too much happens at once.
Snowy Mountain
A calm world about finding your own pace, where you can finally take a breath.
Time your jump and bounce from rock to rock, a playful test of rhythm and reflexes.
