I appreciate how this game aims to create emotions other than accomplishment. The lively graphics and theming are an interesting way to represent some difficult topics. Good work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! :D

Uff, I didn't expect to find such a submition in a game jam. Your game is a sad and bitter, but also really fitting, comment on life and feels awfully relatable.

Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much for your praise! It means a lot

Really heavy game in the emotional side of things, missed a clear consequence for your choises, though.

I think it's part of the concept, that your actions don't really make a difference. You try to hold yourself together, but the limited time you have is not enough. In the end your actions don't make any difference because you can't make a real difference with the recources/possibilities that are availableto you.

Please help me, i don't understand the controls ! I just have been able to read the "my emotions [...] of control" text followed by the three emotions but i don't know how to go further !
i love games about mental health (maybe you'd be interested in my game, it's about panic attacks) and i want to play it !
(maybe i'm just dumb)

You can click on the blue tab at the bottom of the book. There you can drag activities into the two empty slots of your schedule.

Very unique and original, haven't seen many other games in general tackle these concepts, much less a game jam game. Great job!
