It's Okay, Marie

🌧️🖤🫀🌫️💬

"It's Okay, Marie." is an interactive journey through anxiety, memory, and acceptance.  

You play as Marie: a young woman navigating  negative and intrusive thoughts and moments of panic. Inside of her inner world, she must flip fragments of negativity into affirming truths, slowly reshaping her mindset. 

Each battle is a symbolic confrontation:
The vampire? A manifestation of fear and the feeling of being emotionally drained. 
The cards? Cognitive tools or conflicting thoughts we might experience
The player? Someone learning to breathe through it all, and learn how to live with the thoughts, and forgiving herself :)

Created with GameMaker for my intro to game dev final project. This game is an experiment in visualizing thought loops, panic attacks, and the fragile beauty of choosing peace.

Sound design includes rain, heartbeat audio, and symbolic colors that shift with your inner state.
