✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's thoughtful portrayal of anxiety through its visual and audio design, particularly how it represents social stress and the need for isolation to recharge, along with challenging puzzles that reinforce the theme. Common criticisms include the short length with minimal achievements, simplistic maze-based gameplay that becomes repetitive, lack of voice acting or emotional direction, and a few annoying design elements like unclear UI labels and some frustrating puzzle sections, with several suggesting the game would benefit from more content and lower pricing.

6 out of 10 short game with one steam achievement. I would suggest a few more achievements re but otherwise looking at the 100% completionist i would see it ok just a little cheaper than marked or buy in a bundle. I reported a sound bug which can easily get fixed so not letting that effect the score but would be nice to also label the sound option as sound instead of a non labelled bar. I think this game would do better with a voice instead of all the reading and have some emotion in it to direct the game more of what the character is feeling.

i loved how the game captures the notion of anxiety. how people's stares/looks can cause stress & panic attacks. how they implemented in game with the visuals & sounds is very well done. how isolation from social interactions can help people recharge their "social battery" is very real & i can appreciate that it was included. the puzzles make me think & are very unforgiving but i can understand why. if you're looking for a rpg based on mental health & enjoy puzzles def give this game a try

Loved how the game captures the concept of anxiety... about how people and their judgy stares can cause stress and panic attacks. And how isolation from social interactions can help people recharge their social battery (the panic bar as the game shows). Well i loved the puzzles cause they did make me use some brain for once lol. Though i was a bit annoyed with the maze (which is pretty much the point of them but yea they are good T_T). Anyways looking forward to additions to this game and i guess add more achievements and maybe some more levels to the game... <3

It's quite an elementary but real interpretation of anxiety and solitude. People and their eyes being the monsters that scare the protagonist is one beautiful metaphor. As a game, there is a long way to go, and so does for the story; but as a piece of work by a few individuals, it is a beautiful little thing. It can be annoying at times though, especially the exploding monsters in the basement, and the sometimes the puzzles too.

The game isn't super in depth, but it does tell a simple story and some of the mechanics do a good job of representing anxiety. The gameplay is simplistic with just navigating a simple maze however the door puzzles are a refreshing challenge. It is pretty repetitive and would be quite short if you don't take the time to interact with as much as possible, though that turns it into more of a list of recommended books.
