About This Game
This is a pixel-art, top-down action-adventure game that tells a story of courage and self-overcoming. You will play as a young girl deeply troubled by social anxiety, for whom the simple act of "going out" is an all-out battle that requires every ounce of her strength.
A Long-Awaited Meetup
After a long time chatting online, she has finally mustered the courage to meet her online friends in person for the first time. What should be an exciting journey is fraught with peril, as years of built-up anxiety, fear, and self-doubt manifest as monstrous creatures, blocking her path at every turn. The moment she steps out the door, a war against her own inner demons begins.
Turn Fear Into Strength
In this game, you'll engage in fast-paced, top-down combat. Each level represents both a real-world location and a psychological challenge. You must wield your weapon to defeat all enemies born from negative emotions and clear the room to safely advance to the next area and move the story forward.
The enemies you face might be the childhood fear of a vicious dog, the hesitation to speak with a stranger, or the feeling of being overwhelmed in a crowd. Each will attack you in its own unique way. Only by confronting and defeating them one by one can you help her get closer to her final destination.
