• ALTRIRAS is a 2D role-playing game (RPG) designed to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) recognize four basic emotions: joy, sadness, anger, and surprise.
• The game utilizes a puzzle-based mechanic where players collect facial expression components across three distinct environments—forest, desert, and woods—to assemble and identify target emotions.
• Expert assessments yielded high System Usability Scale (SUS) scores, including 96.3 for ease of learning, 94.7 for efficiency, and 96.0 for ease of storage, confirming the game's viability for its target audience.
