"They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now"
Story
Welcome to The Game! If you wish to leave The Game, you must find the key and- never mind.
You’re just another kid struggling those last few steps to college. You’re completely average. Average family, average friends, average life. But maybe with not such an average mind.
Everyone knows that it’s hard being trapped in your own head. But you know that it’s even harder being inside yours.
Features
- A genderless MC
- Characters with personalities that you might find in every other isekai webtoon or otome game (woohoo)
There’s no romance in the game but you can pretend that you’re in a relationship with one of them. Two of them if you’re feeling adventurous and a little bit delusional.
- A glimpse into the story of someone seeking help and the response from those around them
An Important PSA
- This was my first ever game using choicescript and I had a very limited time period to write it. It was written as part of a freeform project on the stigmatization of the less socially-accepted mental disorders like psychosis or schizophrenia. My goal was to not only raise awareness of the issue but to maybe give a glimpse of what it’s like. Most of the episodes in the game are based off of my own experiences as a schizophrenic however, I often struggle with words when it comes to everything that I see and feel so hopefully everything came out right.
- As I was writing it, I had less than 12 hours left and was running on less than 2 hours of sleep which you’ll probably be able to tell. Depending on how I feel about it after I reread it off the proudly-done-with-it phase, I may or may not revisit it to rewrite. Reuse, recycle, reduce.
