i am not your friend Free Download

i am not your friend  reflects on my personal encounters with bullying and feelings of isolation in elementary, middle, and high school. This 5-10 minute long game takes you through continual rejection in a school setting and the confusing experience of one's first panic attack, framed through the metaphor of a glitching computer. By making this game, I wanted to take charge of the experiences that I've let control me and create something meaningful for others. When feeling alone or misunderstood, even small things can make us break. We must take care of ourselves: no just to "feel better," but to live.

CONTENT WARNING: Though the game mirrors real events, it is still entirely fictional.  I will warn that certain situations in the game have the potential to be triggering based on your personal experiences with bullying, anxiety, panic attacks, etc. There is a happy ending though :)
