This is for people who like small puzzles and suffer from mental health issues who can relate to some parts of the game

10/10

You take off on an adventure through the human mind to encounter the everyday challenges associated with certain mental health conditions. These levels are based entirely on those such as emptiness, anxiety, depression, and paranoia and more, as though 6 levels, each inspired by real life obstacles we experience with the environment being something people who suffer though can relate too and even with a slow and calming soundtrack to give it a tone and atmosphere that it gives off is truly immersive.

This is a game I can relate too with my own mental health issues that I am suffering from; this game speaks too to me in a way that it understands that not any therapist could for me. I really am amazed that this was made by a 17-year-old who struggled from anxiety and just shows you, no matter what, you can do it. It's a very easy can short game for completeness like me also.

The objective is to solve all puzzles within each level of the game, there are few to go through and the narrative of the game is based on how you feel the game presents itself with mental health, but the main narrative is that you solve puzzles and become better at them while the world around you feel overwhelming. You eventually get to the end and face the demon which had taken over you and kill it.

The game play design is well simple and easy to understand unlike most games, this is not overwhelming at all and is slow-paced so that everyone can enjoy the game at their own pace. The game play is straight forward and does not require a lot of understanding, just the basic controls, although you may not know the controls at first, but there is a simple and easy with to find via the menu system to understand it. It plays like it's intended too, slow, and steady.
