The game’s purpose is to promote teaching of Chemistry, with the development of transversal competencies and with the inclusion of students with visual impairment. “Salve the Research” was played by seven Chemistry students, six regular students and one student with visual impairment. The game application contrtibuted to the inclusion between the players, everyone else involved and the content presented on the RPG.
