Minor Instruction:
Before playing, ensure you are clicked into the browser, and your keyboard is working. A main mechanic of the game involves figuring out how to move, so don't worry, nothing is broken.
(If you REALLY can't figure it out or get stuck, keep scrolling. Some of the experience may be lost, though.)
Full Instruction:
The controls will randomly switch between A, D, Space, Left, or Right. Occasionally, you will be stuck for 8-15 seconds regardless of input. This is to simulate both debilitating intrusive thoughts, and the anxiety of moving forward in life while facing problems caused by mental illness.

could you make an APK version? that'd be nice
i started off by typing positive affirmations to counter whatever the little person was thinking and let me tell you, that gave me an idea for a game. that aside, really well done! as someone who suffers from depression, it really encapsulated how i've felt at my lowest
I had an idea for a cognitive behavioral therapy game too, you should go for it!
it felt true to reality, desperately searching for the right key :)
This is really accurate, and well made. Thank you.
Thanks! Always happy to hear it's still getting around to people.
Very accurate game about depression and anxiety, I really like what you did about finding the key to move on and figure it out
ah thanks!! it's cool people are still coming to play it after so many years

i LOVE IT. gOD.Whoops caps lock but it's so similar to my own experiences it's scary
Thanks! Glad this game still reaches people <3
i love this so much. from the intrusive thoughts to the partial hospitalization program, it's really accurate and portrays the struggle so well. (I think it was a php, if not, it's real similar)
thank you <3
