How does your submission relate to the topic of the jam?
1365 is a short game about my experience in public school with mental illness. It primarily focuses on Anxiety and Depression, with other emotions and symptoms (Guilt, Dysphoria, Expectations, Insomnia) showing up along the way. Each of these are represented as physical monsters - not ones that can be fought and killed, but ones you have to work past and learn to live with. I actually released this game earlier this year, but it fits the topic of the jam perfectly - I hope it's alright that I submit it!

This really hit pretty hard on what this is supposed to be.  Well, for us.  It really felt like because it wasn't really explaining things, but just put you there...  I did kind of get some sense of a connection with Undertale.  Even though the game design is quite different.
