hey, checking out the game after seeing you post about it on twitter. Have had OCD ever since a little kid. Mainly Pure OCD so really heavy on the graphic imagery/intrusive thoughts. Went through the same thing of not knowing it was “just OCD” until I chanced upon some random Reddit thread during some dark times. Probably most important chance thing to happen in my life, helped me get help and all.
Anywho, I totally relate, I do think the portrayal of OCD as a monster who tries to keep us safe in all the wrong ways by forgiving us to do things was pretty smart (and accurate). I hope someone who was like young me sees this and can realize there’s solutions for managing how our brains work. Sometimes the little monster in our brain sucks but I’m glad you got better at managing it too!
