Resumen

Nowadays, stress in young people is a frequent problem that can affect their physical and mental well-being. This article aims to propose nine recommendations for the development of video games to reduce stress in young people. The recommendations were based on the analysis of 25 research works and 7 video games about of themes and contexts, video game design, aspects such as color selection for video games, creation of scenarios and gameplay. For a better understanding, an illustrative example was developed to show the use of the recommendations in the development of a video game to reduce stress. This work may be of interest to video game designers, psychologists and educators who need to develop video games to reduce stress in young people.
