I'm not usually a big fan of cutesy mental illness metaphors like this, they ring a bit hollow for me and while I appreciate how they help other people, they don't do much for me. However, as someone who does like to think of my struggles with mental illness as a wild, frightened animal, this speaks to that. Plus free projects with good art are always nice.
Un juego pequeñito que acabó sorprendiéndome más de lo que esperaba
If only anxiety was this easy to tame and was this darn cute.

I definitely didn't expect to be confronted with such a relatable and mature game, capable of so accurately depicting anxiety disorders and the stressful thoughts they carry along without becoming too discomforting or overly trivializing the theme.
This game was a wonderful surprise, and I can say that I felt genuinely understood and accepted in certain difficulties of mine, in a way that I have rarely found even in more complex and ambitious projects.
I'd like to say a lot more because it's a game where you can tell there was really an excellent process of study and understanding behind it, both on a scientific and personal level, but right now I just feel very grateful and hope it will be enjoyed by as many people as possible.

THE BREAD WILL KILL YOU
This came out of nowhere as a cheap and easy way to hit 15 completions this month, so the last thing I expected was for it to genuinely improve my mood. Very sweet and entertaining look at something that should only be trivialised in the way that it is here. I like it :)
Was recommended to play this after going through a really hard phase. Anxiety is something I've lived with for my entire life, and sometimes you gotta do wonders to avoid having it control your entire life. This game doesn't want to "cure" your anxiety, but rather help you understand it and make it easier for you to live with it. Sometimes, it's fine to be afraid, and you shouldn't be afraid of being afraid.
i was NOT expecting this slick art direction the animations of the big bad anxiety wolf are outstanding i was in awe at how many different expressions poses and moves were put into a 20 min free game
cool game though sometimes funny sometimes cheesy but still this is me irl frfr

Rápido y muy divertido, como es de esperar de Nicky Case, este juego te deja una enseñanza muy grande.
Trata los miedos humanos con una elocuencia muy buena y realmente ayuda a pintar el cuadro de como se siente tener un "problema de ansiedad".
El mensaje final es muy bonito y te hace sentir identificado toda la "aventura". Tranquilamente podría ser una serie de animación muy buena, yo la vería.

Looks like this is another about how anxiety is overbearing. Kind of expected...
Hey look that redhead girl is talking to us, what is she giving us...
Oh.
Oh no.

For every one in the discord call, an emotional punch right throught their souls.
For me, a really solid comedy!

really fun short game, mountains of interactions, please play this game if you haven't it's free and is super short
really cute and well-animated approach to anxiety feels weird to say but yah a more light-hearted approach to the topic with some very relatable scenes
rigolo
my homie did the soundtrack for this and it rules -w-
i wish my anxiety was in the form of a cute animal
A fantastic brief little experience. The game is available on a browser for free and I absolutely recommend it.
It talks of mental health issues and helped me when I was in a wrong spot in my life. It's visually gorgeous, the animation is eye-candy, the art style is lovely, the musics are incredible.
You'll finish it in around an hour or two.

Had some cheesy moments, but a lot of the comedy worked quite well. Probably one of the only pieces of media I've seen that has actually portrayed anxiety in a tasteful and meaningful way, so thank you Nicky Case! :)
jogo fofinho, que envolve ansiedade, pães brancos e algumas amizades que podem te trazer pro lixo
i wish the comedy writing in this was funnier to me or less prevalent because other than that this is very good, especially for a free 30 minute long web game. ymmv of course though, i presume that most people who would play this game off the pitch and presentation are going to like this brand of comedy a lot more than i do. still quite good and emotionally resonant though, def worth a play
Although the writing can be cringe, it has great animation and is more emotionally resonant in 20 minutes than many games manage in 20 hours. Its depiction of anxiety is also extremely accurate, and the moral of the story is seriously helpful.
A very hilarious and heartfelt game with some really cute art. It made me laugh and feel more at peace with myself in half an hour than most games twenty times as long and thats pretty neat
