Loved it only issue was reading 1 - too fast 2 - my anxiety peeked at it lol 3 - i hate reading of they added TTS or voice actors would have liked it more https://youtu.be/ATZRnBFKchY?si=oogYZKEFUxwA2eDJ
A beautifully atmospheric experience that uses pixel art and symbolism to explore anxiety in a thoughtful, respectful way. The puzzles feel meaningful, not just mechanical, and the world lingers in your mind long after playing. Short but powerful, an excellent start to what could be a very special series.
i loved how the game captures the notion of anxiety. how people's stares/looks can cause stress & panic attacks. how they implemented in game with the visuals & sounds is very well done. how isolation from social interactions can help people recharge their "social battery" is very real & i can appreciate that it was included. the puzzles make me think & are very unforgiving but i can understand why. if you're looking for a rpg based on mental health & enjoy puzzles def give this game a try
Great atmosphere and soundtrack, really pulls you in. The way it handles anxiety feels genuine and thoughtful. This game is really worth your time.
Loved how the game captures the concept of anxiety... about how people and their judgy stares can cause stress and panic attacks. And how isolation from social interactions can help people recharge their social battery (the panic bar as the game shows). Well i loved the puzzles cause they did make me use some brain for once lol. Though i was a bit annoyed with the maze (which is pretty much the point of them but yea they are good T_T). Anyways looking forward to additions to this game and i guess add more achievements and maybe some more levels to the game... <3
This is a nice little game about anxiety. It does a good job with the atmosphere and the writing. It doesn't seem to have options or a way to save, but it's a short game under 2 hours. Some gameplay mechanics are a little frustrating, but I feel like that's purposeful because anxiety can also be frustrating. I also enjoyed the easter eggs. Now I have some reading recommendations :)
Hello Anxiety is a quietly powerful experience—thoughtful puzzles, evocative pixel art, and honest storytelling transform anxiety into understanding, reflection, and empathy. It lingers long after playing with emotional grace.
Apesar de ter uma premissa interessante e uma ambientação legal, achei a gameplay muito travada, o que talvez seja intencional, e certas mecânicas me desagradaram, além de parecerem bugadas. Eu não recomendo.
Hello Anxiety is a fun and interesting game! I feel it describes anxiety pretty well! The puzzles can be annoying but i found them fun! 10/10
