How does you game fit the theme?
This is a mental-health focused typing game aimed at creating a soothing environment for you to feel a little less alone in. I chose to use "you're not alone" in a way which would help players feel comforted in the way they feel & experience the world. I hope people realise they share things they feel with others & leave playing the game feeling less alone in the world. You're not alone, it's going to be okay - stay.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything was made entirely from scratch & completed solo, except for the SFX, which have been credited in the description of my game.

Really intriguing concept, the idea of "healing" games is not explored enough so it's really cool to see. It's hard to evaluate as purely a game, but I enjoyed the experience and it was very calming. Really good work!

Beautiful interpretation of the theme! Phrases and music combined create an amazing atmosphere. Love the font and little leaves on the background

That was quite a surprise. I wasn't understanding the concept at first but the background music was super soothing and, to be honest, I kinda needed something like that today. It's hard to evaluate as it was a very different experience, but I'm glad I got to play it.

I'd suggest allowing the player to skip the intro on play again, or making the letters appear faster. I know it's supposed to be a calm experience but I got a bit anxious as I felt the letters were showing up too slowly, but it's a really minor thing.

Maybe adding a gentle beep to sound when the player finishes a phrase, I raised the effects sound to the max but I think there was no sfx when you finish a phrase. I also didn't understand why there were pipes and some repeated words when I started writing a phrase, but I didn't bother much about it anyway.

Oh, and perhaps making the phrases that show up once you complete your phrase could have some fading effects to look pretty, but that's just a suggestion since I really liked the background and kept on thinking on ways to make it even more soothing.

That being said, great work and thanks for the experience!

What a wonderful and creative take on the theme especially in todays society with the world being so virtual people do often feel alone. Loved the art and music and ui. Loved the concept of the game honestly perfect. As other have mentioned couple bugs with the typing but other than that grteat game and idea you should be proud
