(Sorry for the fast reply but I've been nervous about reaction and probably overly refreshing.)
Thank you for your comment. I'm a little out of it but I wanted to share that this was actually partially inspired by a lot of games and is also similar to some of your work like Are u ok?
To be specific the main game that made me decide to try this approach was bagenzo's madotsuki's closet.
Before that game I was deeply lost about how to approach the topic and was thinking writing or a graphic novel would be the strongest way to talk about and deal with it. Unfortunately my issue was things like the "sample scene" or "convenience store" scenes were very much verbs and a graphic novel couldn't handle that.
I played alienmelon's EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK years ago and that game actually came the closest to articulating my experiences with trauma so if you are looking for something similar I would try that. There are actually a bunch of games I'm neglecting that are similar but I'm nervous and ranting but they are on itch.
