About you're just imagining it

Caution: This game is not meant to be medical advice. It's also not very fun.



A chronic illness simulation game.

You think you have a chronic illness, but you don't know what. All you know is you are always in some state of pain. You've been to too many doctors to count... but you still have to live your life.

How long will it take for you to get a diagnosis?

Play time is ~30 minutes.

FEATURES

  • Stressful schedule management as you try to balance living your life and dealing with pain
  • Different doctors who tell you your chronic pain is made up
  • Cool and minimal soundtrack by sdhizumi

not much of a gameplay-focused game, but the emphasis is on the story, and it's very short and free, so no complaints there! unfortunately a very real and relatable experience that anyone who's had to fight for the medical system to listen to them can relate to, and maybe this can help shed some light on that to neurotypical/non-disabled folk! really cute artwork as well, and the gameplay, though minimal, did a great job of showing the pain and horrors that the medical system can inadvertently bring about due to patient neglect/bias/dismissal <3333

It's a really great game that hits a bit too close to home

The game is fairly short but repetitive. The game-y aspects are just there to make the player feel more hopeless to drive in the point that chronic issues are generally dismissed by doctors, but I thought it was real interesting.
