Fix your social anxiety simulator
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Just a silly little game where you have anxiety and you wanna get rid of it!! Where nothing irregular happens at all <3
While on the way home from attending a course on 'fixing your life' you notice three very normal guys sitting on the bus with you.
You can pick one of three totally normal guys to test out the advice you were given.
Gender neutral and socially awkward MC
For the NaNoRenO 2025 game jam !!
(This is the first game I've officially finished so there's probably lot of mistakes and imperfections, but I hope you enjoy nevertheless! :P)

Where's my android version 😠
I did it... I saved the town..
LOLL YUH Ty for playing my game!! :D
Played the whole thing (thanks for the ending guide). I don't really know what I expected. The game is very surreal and weird, feeling more like a portrait than a story, because there's not any real narrative throughline so far other than “the three guys seem connected to each other somehow and have supernatural-ish powers maybe”. It's an inverted aesop vignette about hoping things go well and they go hilariously wrong.
My favorite route was the Quiet Guy because reality just completely breaks down in his routes. Like it's silly to the point of being endearing. Still, I don't think I was the target audience for this one.
That's okay! Thanks for playing anyway!! :) I really appreciate the feedback.
You're welcome! I do think you're doing something interesting with the whole mannequin conceit and the soul mates thing and would be curious if you ever elaborate on these elements.
this game is absolutely hilarious, love it
I'm glad you enjoyed!! Tysm for playing :DD
I wasn't expecting the game to go into that direction at all. I will say I do think that the chatty guy was the better choice out of the three.
OMGJF TYSM FOR PLAYING MY GAME AND PUTTING IT ON YOUTUBE!! THIS IS SO COOL :DD
Your welcome, I can't wait to see your future games.
I LOVE CHATTY GUY SO MUCH.......
You get a badge for being the first (known) chatty guy liker B)

PERMISSION GRANTED!! He's happy to finally find his soulmate
once againB)THANK YOU this will be my personality now for the rest of my life PLS MAKE ANOTHER GAME I LVOE YIO
DFGHJKL LOVE YOU TOO!!
i am so obsessed with the artstyle! its super cute and the game was really fun too! ^_^
I'm glad you enjoyed!! :D tysm for playing!
this is actually pretty solid like it gave so much more than i expecting from a first game, your art is beautiful like keep it up and u will be pro, and to the writing/concept u did pretty great on making a character feel like themselves and not just the story forcing it self which seems to be the case in these types of genre like the chatty guy wasn't that strong to somehow not get hurt when punched (really annoys me when they do that) and when the emo guy cuts your throat fast so u don't suffer and he isn't just somehow able to do that, no bro is a professional with such a hobby and lastly the quiet guy having romance not forced was a smart move and him actually having boundaries even cross them cuz he wants to rather than the story wanting too, is just right (and what i mean by it is some times people forget to give reason to things and it ruins the interest) but that was so not the case in your humble game, man seriously i enjoyed this allat and with a few words u had in presenting them u did a great job this game was just too good, very lovely! (can't wait to see more of your work) opps this was a ramble
Thank you so much for playing my game!! And the thorough feedback is extremely appreciated, thanks so much and I'm glad you enjoyed :DD I cannot stress enough how amazing this wat to read!!

AHH I LOVE EMOS!! DEF RECOMMEND THIS GAMEE
IM SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED!! TYSM FOR PLAYING
Sorry if this question is a bit frequent by many people, but are you thinking about making this game for Android too? I would really like to play it but I only have my phone 💔😔
Don't worry about asking questions even if people have asked them before (they haven't in this case :))
Sadly I'm a beginner game dev, and I've heard it's very difficult to make games for android :')) so this may be something I figured out in the far future
But I'll give it a look at some point at least!
I do really appreciate your willingness to play though!! :D

LAWRENCE'S HEART ON THE SHELF MY BBG MY POOKIE MY LIL BABY

Made a whole (non commentary) video, I love this game, it's hella funny and I absolutely love the 'Emo Guy', he is my favorite!! Amazing game, dev! Keep up the work.
OMG TYSM!! I APPRECIATE YOUR VIDEO ON IT, Thanks for playing :DD
Ofc! Keep up the work, man!!
Honestly so much fun!!
I'm not just saying this because you are my friend, I so genuinely LOVED this game, it was so much fun to play and there were so many things I found funny or silly or creepy. You name it, I probably felt it
Thank you for the time you put into this game, I had so much fun
IM SO GLAD YOU ENJOYEDDD and ty for streaming it ;P ILYSM!!! /p
Congrats on finishing your game!
I absolutely lovelovelove the ripped page UI! So clever !
IM GLAD YOU LIKE IT!! I wanted the UI to be like bus tickets in a way?? I wanted that kind of effect :DD I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKED ITT!! and tysm for playing :DDD
We British people are crazy!
Congrats on finishing this, it was cool! :D
Chatty guy is my favourite route- I was wondering if the yellow guy there is the same one in one of the Emo Guy's endings? If so, then I guess we both have to deal with crazy dudes!
And the music that played during one of Emo Guy's endings was hilarious
Minor issue I have is that the about page & history have dark text on a dark background so its hard to see
Other than that though, good job! It'll be cool to see more of these guys in the future!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I'm really glad you enjoyed :DD
Thanks for the feedback too, I'll see if I can get around to fixing it some time :,) But I really appreciate the feedback!
我喜欢你的游戏:)当我在 MC 的房间里发现一个 Derek 娃娃和 Law（？） 的心时，我感到非常兴奋。
Thanks for playing my game!! Sorry I can't reply in your language D: But you're right!! That is Lawrence's heart, you're the first to notice that actually :DD and I love Derek so I just had to include him
WHEN THE ROMANTIC MUSIC STARTED PLAYING ON THE EMO GUYS ROUTE, I STARTED LAUGHING SO HARD- At 1AM too...haha...
LOLL I'm glad to hear you enjoyed though!!!
MY FAVORITE ENDING LOLOL
the "I did it, i saved the town" end LMAOAOA loved this
LMOASF I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT!! Tysm for playing :DD
How do you get the quiet guys ending I've tried everything</3
If you've not already, try annoying him, there's a certain question he doesn't like at all
You've reminded me to write a walkthrough though, thanks :) I'll probably do that now and let you know when I've done it if you'd like!
yes please thank you!
All done! It's in the description now, but for ease, here's the document link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LWV-jp0dY5JchrNjHi67MbNJ3wdXOy2XbgFopPlhuLc/...
