STUCK WITH MYSELF
Game Designer - Writer
This is an English short game, or experience, created in two days for the Ludum Dare 47 game jam. The theme was "Stuck in a loop".
​
With my teammate, Rei, we did a brainstorm to choose our vision with this theme. Quickly, we thought of being stuck with dark thoughts as we could be when we experience depression.
​
It was an occasion, for us, to speak of this illness which could be misunderstood by a lot of people.
Rei was in charge of the graphics, the programming in Construct 3 and integration, and I was in charge of the writing, the game pacing and the game mechanics and their balancing.
​
I wrote all the texts that are in game with the intention of being as universal as I could, and very direct to impact people who hadn't experienced this in their lives. I also made a lot of Excel sheets to balance the game in order to have a difficult game offering a short and emotional experience.

Be mindful of yourself, and don't test it if you feel that it could hurt you too much. We can always talk about the game if you want to know more about it without playing it.
