How does your game fit the theme?
I suffer from sleep hallucinations, also know as hypnagogia. I used to be afraid of it before I knew the explanation. Nowadays I can kinda control them for a few seconds because I am aware of what is hapenning. So the idea of the game is to dive into one's mind to help them heal from mental health issues, using this awareness that the other person does not have to help them. The mind is made of layers, you can dive or swim up to transition through those layers. Each hallucination can only exist in a range, some are shallow and some are deep. You guid the patient's mind since the can't do it consciouly in their current state. But there are dangers in diving deeply in another mind, your mind may merge partially with the other and you might assimilate some of the mental health issues. But you can always emerge to take a deep breath to descend further.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I did all the code and game design alone. I made most of the art. The rest of the assets are credited.
