Short and thought provoking, this is a fantastic little game to showcase a lot of important things about anxieties and agoraphobia. Each of the stories is thought provoking and informative, and personally I found them quite emotional at points. For the price, it's a really really great thing to experience, and a great example of what you can do with Ren.Py and lots of imagination. The hand-drawn art is lovely to look at and brings the world to life surprisingly easily, and the music is delightfully atmospheric. It's not the kind of game I feel I can give a score to, just a game that is really worth experiencing for yourself if you're interested in mental health issues or suffer with things like anxiety yourself. ++
