This is a game about mental illness. It centers around a person with a troubled past who has an acute fear of crowds and some locations in his town.

The goal of the game is to tend to your physical needs (hunger, hygiene, health, etc.) while also taking care of your anxiety. You will accompany him on his journey via journal entries that are revealed as time passes.

Tutorial:

Move with W/A/S/D interact with E.
You can also sprint and jump with Shift and Space respectively.
Look by moving the mouse (Click the screen to make sure the mouse is captured).

There is no in-game tutorial other than hints given in journal entries.
You can find locations by exploring... (They have massive signs indicating their purpose and are visible from almost anywhere)

Other than that here's a graphic tutorial:

Energy: Replenished by sleeping, decreases more rapidly when other values are low

Health: Replenished by sleeping, exercising(bike), and a small amount from other activities

Mental Health: Replenished by sleeping and therapy (costs 100), decreases extremely quickly when near a group of people or a trigger zone

Hunger: Replenished by eating in the kitchen

Hygiene: Take a bath

Alcohol: drink alcohol on the table next to the kitchen

Addiction: decreases when alcohol is at 0, increases otherwise

Money: Work (gives 200)

Food: Buy at Super Mart (costs 100)

Alcohol: Buy at Super Mart (costs 20)

If you don't have enough energy or health for a task you will not be able to do it, which means you need to sleep to the next day.
