The Project
The project's core objective was to develop a game that sheds light on the mental health challenges faced by teenagers, emphasising the importance of creating systems that make young people feel a better sense of connection to their environment.

Additionally, this project aimed to raise awareness about the often hidden mental health struggles experienced by adolescents.
