Core Tip This study introduces a gamified, video-based affective computing approach for adolescent depression screening that captures spontaneous behavioural cues during an interactive game task. By extracting facial action units, gaze behaviour, head pose, and valence-arousal features from short video recordings recorded within the game, we trained a machine learning classifier that reliably distinguished depressed adolescents from healthy controls with strong external generalization. The findings demonstrate that visual behavioural signals alone can support accurate, low-cost, and non-invasive depression screening, highlighting the potential of gamified paradigms for scalable mental health screening in addition to traditional clinical interviews.
