Spaces where players can traverse the gap between individual mental health and social justice and leave with renewed compassion and fortified boundaries. Using the example of Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between, they will look at designing games where openness and vulnerability are balanced with comfort, cooperative conversations shift perspectives, time and productivity are reframed, and tools are modeled that players can use to heal themselves and their communities.
