ANgST - a game about social anxiety

[Or Avrahamy]

Hello,

ANgST is my graduation project at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.

It's a surreal stealth game that takes place at school.

The game is available to download at itch.io for PC.

Let me know what you think :)

Hi Or!

I'm super interested in testing out your game! But unfortunately I do not own a pc.

I love your concept and I feel we share something in common. During my time in graduate school, I created a thesis that explores the use of experience design and gaming to overcome anxiety disorders and stress.

The overall project consisted of thorough research and writing, which in the end turn into a semi prototype of a game that helps people deal with their anxiety and/or educate those on what having an anxiety disorder is really like.

I love to hear more on your progress, so please keep in touch!

Jill

Hi Jill,

It is exactly what I was aiming for too.

Coupled with professional treatment, I hope the current version of the game could help deal with anxiety. My plan for the full game includes features that might guide the player in the right direction even without therapy. I'll tell you about it in a private message since it includes spoilers :)

I'd love to hear about your game and read your paper if possible.

Wow, that's awesome! I watched the trailer and will play the game sometime soon. We are also working on a game about social anxiety. Our focus is on empathizing with the character and going through a narrative to see what caused this for her. If you'd like to chat about our projects sometime I imagine it would be very interesting. Feel free to email me directly, joshds...@gmail.com

Thanks,

Josh

Design and trailer looks great but I don't think it is working properly on my machine. Once I go up and into the light it cuts to the end credits.

Hi Or,

Very interesting project and I'll certainly give your game a try!

I am part of a disability charity and this year we launched a Disability Awareness programme created with #ogilvychange. At the moment we are looking at creating a game for children to experience the world of disability to improve Disability Awareness and acceptance.

We are focussing on Autism and creating a world for somebody with ASD, monitoring the gamer's reactions and choices in the game.

I would imagine that your game could also be used for education purposes to introduce mental illnesses and how fear feeds and grows in someone's reality

Bye for now,

Dawn

Hi Dawn,

I would love it if my game could be used in such a program.

Just let me know if you want to do that and you have my permission and blessing :)

Hi Shaun,

Yes, this happens sometimes... Try to start a new game and it should work.

Hope you'll get past this bug :)

Or,

The trailer looks so cool!

I so glad you are doing work in this space.

Hi Cynthia,
