An immersive look at mental states through the eyes of a psychiatrist.
GAME IN DEVELOPMENT
About
Can you imagine what it feels like to have OCD or depression, if only for a few moments? Are you curious about how it feels to experience the confusion and hallucinations of psychosis, or the thrilling heights of mania, all from within the safe confines of a game?
Our goal with Mind Garden is to provide an immersive and engaging look at a variety of mental health states. These include depression, OCD, psychosis, phobias, and more. By providing a direct experience of these states, we hope to increase empathy and education for the general population who may be lucky enough to not experience these conditions themselves.
Dr Eloise Ballou will guide you through the experience, sharing patient stories and providing information about each mental health state along the way.
