Your task is help build our list of works, including hyperlinks, brief summaries, stars, and tags. As our list grows, we can begin to organize the material differently.

Here's an example:

A Vast and Lonely Desert by Gavin G. See
In this Bitsy game, we travel through vast, empty spaces with a friend making our way through the desert toward a campfire and star gazing. The work is about friendship, grief, and poetry with a western vibe. It's sparse and powerfully moving precisely because of its sparseness.

tags: spatiality, navigation, orientation, friendship, loss, LGBTQ

In this game from the New Media Writing Prize, we explore an individual's experiences during the pandemic and how the isolation has impacted their mental health and will to perform daily tasks. It's a very slow moving game with animated text that emphasizes the internal calamity the character is facing. The character also attempts to reach out to a friend to discuss their deteriorating mental health, but faces many issues when attempting to do so.
Info: made in 2023; serious game; authoring tool: itch.io; in the New Media Writing Prize archives
tags: depression, friendship, anxiety, therapy
