Anxiety

This is a game jam entry for the Indie Game Academy game jam. The theme of the jam was to create a game revolving something real that could provide impact such as talking about mental health like anxiety, or something physical like climate change and pollution, etc. The criteria for this jam was to make something fun, impactful, marketable, and neon.

This game focuses on the concept of anxiety and tries to send a message through both its gameplay and story.
