I like combine the mental health take with a more traditional rpg and how the story, even in so brief a time, grows your character and their ability to cope.

How does the game fit the theme?
You play as Murphy, a person living with anxiety. Murphy hears of a promotion opportunity at work and wants nothing more than to impress the boss and get that promotion. The pay rise would be life changing. Today has to be perfect. If anything goes wrong, Murphy might not get that promotion, and their life will be over.
However, both the choices you make for Murphy and the choices life makes for us will affect Murphy's ability to ace that interview with the boss. Throughout the day, Murphy will suffer anxiety attacks where you must do battle with various anxiety demons.
The outcome of the story, the battles you end up fighting, and the abilities you gain are all affected by the choices you make - will your choices leave Murphy better off? Or will everything go wrong?
