I deeply understand you Robin!

very effective in getting the message across - as someone who thinks I may struggle with chronic fatigue, I found this to be an extremely validating experience. Gets across that feeling of frustration and guilt extremely well while keeping the game simple, clean, and aesthetically pleasing!

I would love to play this game, although for Mac it says it is outdated? I don't know if this is just on my end, but I would like to mention it just in case!

i have chronic fatigue i'm really excited to play this yippee

I am very glad that i played this game. <3

Omg this is amazing. I got diagnosed with CFS after dealing with Mono for 2 years and this is really what life is like.

i played this game a few years ago and have not forgotten it, its been one of the best ways to explain to people how i feel with my CFS

i cannot thank you enough for making this game, it means the absolute world to me, not only as a way to tell people how i feel at certain points but also to remind myself that im not alone.

Loved it. Thanks a lot for this game


As someone with CFS, this hit close to home. Thank you for trying to raise awareness 

 

This was a really thoughtful game!  I liked that it was small and it really makes you think about what that is like.

I loved the game. It really made the idea of energy more tangible and gave a rare glimpse into living with an individual illness. 

Love this game! made me understand chronic fatigue syndrome much more.

Thanks for making this incredible game! <3 

Got the message across through a short but powerful medium. I also loved the art style!

I played this way, way back few years ago and to this day, I still consider it as a very impactful game. The game wasn't as flourished as it is now, but for the build few years back and the build that is also on Steam now, both still gives a very amazing message.

Cute and illustrative. May not touch all the sides of the chronic illness, but I still thought it was lovely.

All endings play through.  

Interestingly, trying to "solve" for all the endings is a similar frustration to trying to "solve" for the right outcomes w/ limited spoons in real life ^^'

Robin was a really lovely  and heart warming game about CFS syndrome. I got the 'good' ending on my second try and I really like how there isn't a perfect ending, because honestly that would be unrealistic. I really liked the illustrations through out the game, this was a fun quick game to play!

I just want to preface this with I love this game, it's gorgeous and I understand this was done for school so obviously not everything could be included but these are just some thoughts.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in more then just 'being tired', theres muscle and bone aches, theres vomiting, often teenagers will also have POTS which will cause fainting, and these are just a couple things. And there's so many other things that come along with it. This game is amazing but doesn't even touch on social problems,  family issues, mental health issues, work/school. Because it's invisible theres so much self hate (which is touched on in the beginning) and misunderstanding with other people, I've lost friends over this, had relationships fail, sacrificed my health to go to school yet have come out worse for it.

I've been to rehab, there's no cure, but just putting the important things first, but also realising those important things aren't always school/work.

The game is amazing and you should be proud of yourselves to have brought attention to this little known illness that destroys our lives <3

This was heart-wrenching and comforting, and it helped me forgive myself for my roughest days. Thank you.

such a powerful game. Definitely recommend.

I like it, thank you so much for this experience.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that your game got on my top 10 list of 2017!

Thanks for the game. Interesting approach to discover this problem.

Finally, after several attempts, I reached the best "happy with productivity, has hope for the week" ending, and I am happy beyond words. :) Good idea, pleasent graphics, engaging game.

WOW

Let me start out by saying: Thank you.

I live with narcolepsy and struggle to find a way to explain it to people. This game, though based on a different sleep/immune disorder, does an absolutely fantastic job of explaining the limits placed on me and others with chronic disorders like this.

Thank you so much for making this wonderful game. This is the first of it's kind I've seen and I always get excited when sleep disorders get some attention from creators like you. This is amazing in every way and if I could shake your hand I would. 

Thank you so much!

First, before I write this review, I just want to apologize in advance to those who will watch my video. I realized I did not take the subject matter as seriously as I should've and I want to let you know how sorry I am. I will make sure to be more serious when I play games like this. 

This game is pretty good. I like how the game puts you in the shoes of someone who is suffering from CFS, It helps the player get a glimpse of how someone suffering with CFS goes about their day. It's a clever and creative way to use video games to raise awareness and to put things in perspective. There should really be more games like this. If you wanna know what I'm referring to, I suggest you play the game yourself. 

If you want, you can watch my playthrough of the game below:

As someone with CFS, it was really heartwarming to see this game. Thankyou.

Here is a review I wrote on this game:

https://maddytimes.com/2017/03/24/an-eye-opening-a...

This gave me a sad vibe and I love it. I was able to share my insights, my opinion about what could happen to people who suffer from this disease/problem and I'm happy that I've played this game.



I felt an incredible urge to never let my bird friend go unfed, at the cost of my own physical and mental health o-o I have no regrets ever.

This was a neat little game, with a great message! Thanks for making it!

I also made a let's play. Hope it helps!

Howcome i cant download omg!!!!! so fustrating!!!!!!????

leave a like to support me :)



Was a great game explaining the life of a CFS person. Loved the concept and made a small video about the game.


I played this game from your gamejolt page and I didn't realize it was on here too! Just wanna say that this was a nice game and experience. I knew about CFS and this brought more of an insight on the life of someone who has this syndrome. Good job on the execution!



"Robin" was a great little experience of an Indie game!

I had heard of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the past, but I never really got more of an understanding of it until playing this game. Not only was it educational, I also really enjoyed the mechanics and the art direction of the project; it made everything so simple and relatable without being overly complicated.

Kudos to you students at Media Design School, looking forward to playing anything else you guys make in the future!


As an FMS sufferer, it was lovely to see someone put daily struggles into this format.
