How does your game fit the theme?
You have ptsd and have experienced a trigger, you have to avoid the things that your head tries to convince you are bad to keep from having a mental breakdown. Like panic attacks, you can hold it together and stay "calm" but you're just a ticking time bomb waiting to break... in my experience at least.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote the code and made all the art assets, 2/4 songs were made by me and the sound effects were downloaded from pixabay

This game is so brief, yet there’s so MUCH going on! This is brilliant work, congrats!
Very unique game! You did a great job telling a story with mechanics
10/10 would get anxiety from people running again
Quick game with interesting storytelling, I liked it
It's always cool when mental states are described in game mechanics. There wasn't much "game" here, but didn't really need to be. There could have been some audiovisual "pressure" when you go close to humans, similar to the beings in the last level. Hope you're doing alright.
What a unique game! Those people are running too fast, it scare me a bit but I like the game.
Smal and unique game, I liked it. I just didn't really know what to do on that last part.
Game has great storytelling. Also looks cute.
These running people were too fast, it was quite hard to escape them.
Also the labirinth was little bit confusing at first.
But I liked how it showed things in unique ways. I wish for more games like this - more experimental and rough around edges but with meaning.
I've played so many games this game jam that were just ok to play, but didn't have any depth or meaning.
Great game.
I had a panic attack and got jump scared ...
Quick and simple little game, I enjoyed it.
The little sprites of the people are cute, I like them.
I don't understand how to avoid getting hit by the purple things, they move too fast compared to the player
you're not meant to avoid them
How do I regenerate the bar, then? Or avoid losing?
run
Umm... I don't see whatever was supposed to be pressed at the very start of the game...
