Paper Cages

I did not anticipate a 1 on 1 recreation of my daily life..

very very short game. if you feel very similar to the protag, please take care of yourself. reach out to someone if you can. If not, find something that will make you feel good even if it's a little. Don't give up.

yeah uh maybe i do have sum depression huh

beautiful game, just what i wanted to see for a long time

Played this game after i quit my internship today as the place is quite toxic. This game is quite scary, and it resonates with how I used to feel when I experienced burnout and depression. Thank you for creating it.

To everyone going through tough times, I hope you find the strength to overcome it. In the end, it’s you against the world, and I believe you can make it through

Loved it!! i had the same idea before and I'm really glad someone made it & it turned out this perfect!! it really depicts the same feeling i get. Thank you for your hard work

Felt, seen, heard.  Sometimes life is really hard and the battles of one day are unbearable the next.

Hits a little too close home, but it’s a great little game. The theme, graphics, and sound work very well together to give a pretty good look into why mental health care is so important.

This was a cool game that made me reflect on my own life and what im doing. 

this is actually impossible

This game is a great depiction of what its like to mentally struggle. I enjoyed this and thanks for creating a game to help bring visuals to those who can't explain for themselves or for those who cannot understand. 

ahhh i love the game so much, but i type too slow to make it past the typing par

I can't seem to wake up, i mash z but nothing happens and the willpower just depletes :(

tbh, real. feel like this everyday. and no, im not being lazy, i just dont know how to explain that i just cant

this is awesome

This game is actually really similar to me when I have depression but like yeah great game

"Type your fears"
"Puppies"
WHAT?????

anyways nice game i guess. the ending was unrealistic for me but nice try

Short and interesting game. I like the choice of smashing the button to express will power, which is more and more difficult to achieve. The final part was unexpected! The typing was actually not that difficult. Good job!

this was really really hard but i made it for those who cant type anything you gotta type it correctly and perfect and dont stop typing or youll lose

this game was so fucking difficult on the typing part my hands are killing me and I didn't even finish :(

I woke up, pat my cat, go to work, slept in, decide to contemplate about not going to work on my second day for 108  dialogues, opened up to an online friend and unleashed a demon that absorbed all of my depression, thanks demon!

peep

eep

took me a bit at the mashing keyboards part

fighting for my life with words 👍

anyway nice game, fought my inner demons

What an interesting concept! I really liked how the willpower got so hard to achieve. And also the typing game was a nice surprise. I wish I understood the various markers at the bottom better though. (I think the points there are determined by answers I picked?)

Overall, great fun, nice music and visuals!

this was really validating :) what an amazing game concept, incredibly executed! thank you for making this!

when that thing came my heart just went out for a sec , im setting my volume max , its not even a jumpscare but fk tat

The mashing part really got to me. I've had way too many days like day 2, my willpower is just not enough, and it becoming harder to mash is definitely how it feels like. I had some trouble with the typing but I'm glad I played this game :)

This game is AMAZING. The creator and the people who helped in making stuff like this are amazing and talented. <3333
