Puzzle Adventure about mental health and self-help
Hi! I'm Erin ✋
Full disclosure, I've struggled with my mental health. Especially since some pretty unusual things happened to me recently.

The Pomsky Games team reached out to ask if they could make a game starring me. And I said:

– No, absolutely not!


puzzle game, anxious, queer, biracial, mental health game, strong narrative, non-violent puzzle-solving mechanics, real-world mental hearlth techniques, self-compassion, mindfulness
So this is a game about me.
Check out the TRAILER. I hope you like it.
(And if you don't like it, please don't tell me, because social rejection is my literal nightmare.)
I'm an architect and I love photography ✨ Here's my INSTAGRAM. Click below to read the captions, and some comments from great friends who I love.

There are also comments from people I don't like. (You don't have to read those.)
If you play you can help me solve brain-twisting puzzles and explore eerie mysteries! You'd be like a mental health detective. Or maybe an explorer, visiting all the strange places in the SCREENSHOTS below.
Now, look at these friendly faces! This is THE TEAM making a game about me. They have so much passion, knowledge, and expertise.
