Excellent sense of inevitability here. I struggle with fixation (getting a little consumed by the thing I should be thinking about) more often than avoidance (it’s quite difficult to distract myself sometimes actually and often I’d benefit from it) but honestly I think this works just as well for that experience too, given how much the distractions are framed as ‘yay, big number, success’.
I like the death-spiral nature (d6/d4 under 5 is nearly a given), but I wonder if there’s any way to avoid the experience of immediately rolling a 1… I suppose that’s a feature, rather than a bug; at no point are you ‘safe’!
Oh and the crumpled paper background is a really nice touch!
Congratulations on/thanks for the maladaptation gamification (and the interesting game); luck in all endeavors both distracting and avoided.
