I would love to play this game, although for Mac it says it is outdated?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 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.
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.
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
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.

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!

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