Games Like What Acts up

GAME FEATURES

THEMES

Social anxiety, and the psychological struggles that can become intertwined with it, have long been surrounded by misunderstanding.

"You're just shy. You need more confidence."

"You seem so outgoing. Why are you still afraid of talking to people?"

Through Lin Mo's story, What Acts up hopes to bring players closer to forms of fear, self-doubt, and inner conflict that are not always visible from the outside. We also hope that those who have experienced similar feelings may find a little understanding and companionship here.

But What Acts up is not intended to be an inspirational story about "overcoming social anxiety."

Some fears may stay with us for a long time. They can make us retreat, hesitate, question ourselves, and grow accustomed to putting ourselves on trial again and again.

Yet even when someone has begun to believe that something inside them is "acting up," they may still learn to recognize those voices in their mind that constantly tear them down, to understand where those voices came from, and to ask whether they truly belong to them at all.

Through fragmented storytelling, multi-window presentation, and psychological realism, the game gradually reveals Lin Mo's past and present.

Where he ultimately goes from there may be left for each player to decide.
