It's been a while since I've played a game that has hit this close to home.
I'm currently seeking diagnosis for several things, those things being:
1. my Tourette's, which I was told was "just anxiety tics' (later found out that anxiety tics basically just means female hysteria)
2. what I believe to be autism/something similar
3. GAD (I'm already diagnosed with SAD so having GAD probably isn't much a stretch)
4. pain in my joints (and a few other random parts of my body), mostly my hips, knees, and lower back. Doctors have told me that it's all just "growing pains" time and time again, but it has recently gotten to the point where I have bought a cane. I'm starting to believe that growing pains aren't actually a real thing, and that my family's running history of arthritis/similar things is actually what's causing me issue here.
Of course every doctor I have talked to has told me something similar about each thing I have listed (excusing my therapist, love the woman). "It's all in your head; it's just growing pains; you'll grow out of it; you're probably fine; young girls always get this idea in their head that there's something wrong with them, you're no different." Bs like that. My parents have also taken to telling me similar things.
Instead of helping you when you ask (something that everybody keeps telling you to do) everybody just stands by and watches as you drown, and this game puts that experience into perspective perfectly. Thank you to the creator for making this beautiful game, I'm gonna try and get my parents to play it so they might understand. (Also, creator, you should make one that's from the perspective of a teen. It's same concept just more barriers.)
TL;DR: game is accurate, relatable, and the creator did an amazing job. (If you're thinking about playing, do it!)
