The studio

Study games that don't feel like studying.

I'm an OR nurse who builds games for the exams that gate a career. Play the concepts instead of grinding flashcards. Here's the shelf.

The flagship, up close

MCAT Village

A fantasy study game for premeds who want to enchant the grind.

Plate amino acids in a café. Drag enzymes through reactions. Restore color to a cursed Glow Labs by mastering biochem. The biochem district is free.

MCAT Village world map restored to color

Wander the districts. Pick up MCAT concepts the way you'd pick up a side quest: no flashcards, no lecture videos, no guilt.

What premeds are saying

“I review more with these mini games than Anki cards.”

What you'll study

Every district maps to real MCAT content. Here's the full breakdown, objective by objective, across all seven districts.

The shameless SEO section

Every MCAT topic in the game (this part is for Google, hi Google)

Hey, human. You can scroll right past this one. I have to list out every MCAT topic the village teaches so the search robots believe this place exists and send the premeds who are Googling "enzyme kinetics" at 1am my way. So consider this my love letter to the algorithm. Robots, please find me. I promise the game is more fun than this paragraph.

Biochemistry: amino acids, protein structure, enzyme kinetics, Michaelis-Menten, enzyme inhibition, glycolysis, citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, metabolism, hemoglobin and the Bohr effect, membrane transport, signal transduction.

General chemistry: electron configuration, periodic trends, VSEPR and hybridization, intermolecular forces, gas laws, chemical equilibrium, acid-base titrations, thermodynamics, Gibbs free energy, solubility and Ksp, electrochemistry, the Nernst equation.

Organic chemistry: IUPAC nomenclature, functional groups, stereochemistry, chirality and R/S, SN1 and SN2, E1 and E2, carbonyl chemistry, aromaticity, Grignard reactions, aldol and Claisen, IR and NMR spectroscopy.

Physics: kinematics, Newton's laws, energy conservation, momentum and collisions, fluids and Bernoulli, thermodynamics, waves and sound, the Doppler effect, optics and lenses, circuits and Ohm's law, electric fields, magnetism.

Biology: cell organelles, mitosis and meiosis, Mendelian genetics, Hardy-Weinberg, action potentials, the nervous system, endocrine hormones, the cardiovascular system, respiratory gas exchange, the nephron, the immune system, embryology.

Psychology and sociology: operant conditioning, memory, cognitive bias, emotion theories, Piaget and development, attachment, social psychology, conformity and obedience, persuasion, cognitive dissonance, psychological disorders, demographics and health.

Math, CARS and research: dimensional analysis, logarithms and pH, statistics, confidence intervals, correlation vs causation, study design, randomized controlled trials, confounding variables, graph interpretation, CARS reasoning.

Still here? You read the keyword list. You are clearly a real human and I adore you. Go play Glow Labs, it's free, the robots and I will manage.
