The (Inner) Critic
A downloadable game
Our lives aren't movies, yet our minds insist on chiming in like movie critics forced to watch our lives against their will... what's that about?! The Inner Critic is about silencing this harsh voice. Turn your inner critic into your biggest fan, a voice armed with compliment sandwiches, not rotten tomatoes.
The Inner Critic is a Second Guess System journaling game in which you're faced with negative and positive critiques. After deciding which one resonates with you the most, you'll write your feelings about it. Getting the same prompt results in a Plot Twist, forcing you to think more deeply about a past journal entry.
In the end, the director will help you with your inner critic to make them more kind, encouraging, and supportive, while learning to encourage and inspire others as well!

I just love this so much. I love how you make games that genuinely help people, and do it a funly-themed way.
Thank you for being such a positive game creator. There's so much I can learn from you!
Aaaawwwwwww well thank you so much Lýz! That's so awesome to hear! 🧡
It's funny because it's become such a thing now that it's just where our brains go pretty much immediately. Even when I start off writing a dungeon-diving game or something it's like: "but what about your FEELINGS?" 🤣
And you've been one heck of an inspiration yourself, btw!
