Content Warning: Suicide
We wanted to make a game for players to understand how some people have to cope with daily struggles to keep themselves alive. We often feel the need to help fix people's problems, but sometimes those people are not looking for solutions from us --just understanding. Hopefully this game helps you empathize with its characters while they work to stay alive and achieve their goals.
Controls: Mouse
Click on buttons to do things. Click+Drag the ball back to fire it forwards. Each ball represents an Action in someone's life; line up 3 or more to match them. But be careful --each match you make might have a strong positive or negative impact on the person you're helping, and may affect their Suicide Risk meter.
Ludum Dare Stuff
* Art & Music are not ours; see Attribution.txt.
* We've wanted to make this game for a long time. We apologize that it doesn't fit the Theme exactly.
Known Bugs
* Game may crash. Sorry!
* Emotion & Risk bars may sometimes disappear. Keep playing --they'll come back
* Lifelines may not always active. (Don't worry, they will always save you at Risk Level 3.)
* Music sometimes double-plays. Restart the app (I've only seen this once.)
* Zoom on HTML5 for mobile devices is wrong.
* Audio buzzes on Android. (Keep volume low or use headphones.)
