Grounding Thoughts

Little game for using grounding and positive thoughts to help with anxiety

"Grounding Thoughts" is a digital game designed to guide players through grounding exercises during moments of anxiety. I focused on a calm, minimalist but meaningful design, and soft interactivity. The experience uses visual metaphors of expanding walls and subtle inputs to teach techniques like sensual grounding, thought reframing, and a bit of a nod towards controlled breathing. It’s a game meant to be returned to in times of stress, very short and not a challenge, but crafted with respect for the player’s mental state and personal journey. As someone who has problems with anxiety, I wanted to make a little game to teach players how to navigate their own anxiety with some very simple exercises.
