Gamebook
Introduction
The gamebook was designed as a tool to make an interactive guide to the tools produced by SAPHEA. The player will be thrown into an adventure in which they can choose to be either the mayor of a city or the CEO of an energy company. The story will be similar for both paths. It will involve an introduction to the context of a city council or company board, followed by advice from various experts. Specifically, you will interact with experts in business, financial, societal and environmental, political, and technical fields (related to geothermal).
Backoffice and structure
Here you can see how the back office of the gamebook appears:

As it’s shown, the story appears quite linear at the beginning, differentiating between the CEO's and the Mayor's profiles. After those two parallel parts, the possible scenarios are the same. Both Mayors and CEOs will have the opportunity to explore the Advisor Square and interact with the four experts.
However, going into details, the gamebook will have some simple, clear rules explained in Figure below:

After this introduction, you will be asked to choose between the CEO and the Mayor.

As I have already mentioned, and from that point on, the story will develop around the basic plot: after choosing to invest in renewable energy, the player will be directed to the geoDHC and discover its advantages. In addition to the benefits, we will also list, explain and deepen aspects that are not taken into account independently, but which in our opinion are of fundamental importance for the implementation of a geoDHC network. Hereinafter, some examples of how it will appear:

Eventually, you will see a message of greetings and some last advice:
