A short twine Choose-Your-Own-Adventure game about the horrors of Intrusive thoughts. The story was built to encapsulate the uncomfortable feelings and anxieties provoked by these thoughts. It also serves to make a commentary on how society treats people with intrusive thoughts in an attempt to normalize their existence and educate people on the topic. More specifically, the game is a commentary on how people with mental health conditions often only get the help they need when they do something extreme enough to "prove" they have a problem.

I grew in my understanding of myself. This studio was certainly challenging for me, but in a more practical and general sense. I learned how to work in an environment where I was only given one assignment, and it was up to me to organize and break down tasks so that I could complete the assignment on time. It was also up to me to decide the design requirements for the majority of the assignment. Knowing that I was in control of what I had to do proved difficult for focus, and was a challenge which I overcame. For the future, I plan on just completing tasks I set for myself to completion so that I don't get stuck in perfecting my goals.
