Totally relatable.  For me it was M.D.D. and Mixed Apnea episodes together each disorder compounding the effects of the other.  I could sleep for 16 hours and wake up tired.  Needed naps all the time.  Sometimes falling asleep while driving. Had trouble focusing and remembering enough at work that I lost my job as a developer.  Too tired to check my messages, answer calls, or do anything I used to do for fun. Took every pill, powder and potion I could get my hands on over the counter.  But I seemed fine.  Still on the tail end of that episode.

i cried

It's definitely going in my Top 10 Games List this year. I just... what a beautiful story. I've had those days with depression where sleep didn't help. I can't begin to imagine what the feeling of this would be. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

such an accurate game!! I've struggling with chronic illness for almost 6 months and still haven't found the answer, but maybe one day...

5/5! I loved this game! It's so realistic and I would recommend this to everyone! I suggest they take the "normal reading requirements" like MacBeth, Animal Farm, Etc. Those "Classics" and replace them with more techie games/reading like this. I know more kids would be able to identify with this and even get their heads thinking about real-world topics and themselves. Definitely worth it! In short, I feel like it would be very relatable!

(Plus the Protagonist reminds me of Marcy Wu from Amphibia so thats a  Plus point from Me)

Lots of Love to this Creator from me <3

I have lupus and it took years to get my diagnosis. This was such an accurate representation of what it's like to battle some mystery illness you can feel but no one else can see. Thank you KJAM

In short no, It's not depression because you can see she really wanted to go to school and be with her friends.  She might have developed depression because of her untreated narcolepsy, but I don't see much pointing in that direction.

(+2)

Wow,this is beautiful..yet..hits close to home..

It's hard to believe that people go through this,even though I know what it's like personally..

(+4)(-2)

Very cute and sad game. I'm glad I ended up getting a good ending for it.


(spoilers)

I was thinking of depression before the reveal at the end because it also has similar tiredness and nonexisting motivation to do anything than stay in bed. Like I said I'm glad to get a happy ending where Rae had still good relationships with her mother and her friend. ♥

Same...🖤

same, and when she realized the only person who actually believed in her story the whole journey was her own mother, broke my heart at the same time reminding us mothers always know when sosmethings wrong with their own children. </3

It really was though 💕

Hiya! I'm a game dev and also a neurologist, when I saw Rae's case I guessed [spoiler] and it turns out she is having it. I am really glad that you made this game and show people about unknown diseases, and how some medical professional just look down on something like this. It's a great insight for me as a physician and for others that you shouldn't dismiss any kinds of concern about your health. 5/5 stars!

(+5)

thank you so much for this game!! i got really sick at 15, and can relate so much to all the doctors visits and lab tests and worthless doctors. it was awful trying to be a high schooler while being in so much pain all the time. i was super sick for a year before i found a surgeon willing to operate on a hunch. turns out my gallbladder had stopped working. took years to fully recover, but ive been doing great! this game really brought me back to that time. had a great time playing, sending much love! <3

(+2)

I'm glad you got taken care of and are now in a better place <3
