Game Design Development

They tricked you but you’re not trapped. We all got tricked into mundane lives. Sold a story and told to chase the ‘dream.’ The problem? There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow if you follow the main conventional narrative. So why don’t people change? Obligations and reputations. They end up chained, strained, and drained of their life force. Sad but true. Most people are miserable in one central aspect of their lives.

Instead, Self-Help and Self-Care Games provides a month of challenges and games, to provide a unique approach to self-care. Through a series of thirty-one short articles of no more than 500 words, Ichizli-Bartels has created a gameful and enjoyable way of thinking about self-help. After completing the “game” at the end of the challenge, you will understand which gameful experiences self-help and self-care align with and how you can design, develop, and play them as the most fun and engaging games for yourself.
