I kept trying to get a "happy ending" but by the 5th attempt I kinda figured that's not the point of the game. Super relatable as an early 20yr old living out of home and as a ND person. The depiction of guilt through listing everything you didn't do during the day instead of celebrating the wins of what did get done is so true and was super discouraging; especially when Robin woke up with less energy than anticipated. This game was super effective at showing and sharing the defeat that real people with conditions like these feel and experience every single day. Even in the short 3 days of gameplay, I could feel the frustration and guilt of the character, very well made game.
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I would love to play this game, although for Mac it says it is outdated?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!
