Ideas for a Text-Based Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Game

Ideas 

  • Saying goodbye during a long distance relationship. Have scenes that are fun and light-heartened and then there is just an emptiness 
  • Having a relationship but you are having anxiety but you can’t always talk; you need someone to talk to but you just feel so alone despite being in a committed relationship 

Daily anxieties | (Title: Rabbit Holes??)

Excuse the word vomit. I’m likely going with this idea and I’m going to use these concepts. The game is supposed to feel sporadic and chaotic, imitating how overwhelming it can feel to have some of these thoughts and not being able to suppress them. This chaos of this list imitates how I want the game to feel lol

  • Checking someone’s location. Not knowing where they are. Assuming they’re dead
    • Check facebook to see if there was a car crash. Check their friends’ locations. Check their families facebooks.
  • Someone hasn’t responded in a while
    • They hate me 
    • Or they died and I don’t know it 
  • What if my grandma died and I just don’t know it because I have been so busy lately? It wouldn’t be the first time it happened
  • What if my boyfriend secretly hates me
    • He doesn’t want kids but maybe it’s just because he doesn’t want kids with ME and he thinks I would be a bad mother. It would be a different story if he was with someone else 
    • What if I have been tricked this whole time and he has a whole different life with a whole other person
