ASCOMYCOTA

An interactive fiction that aims to emulate the experience of having an eating disorder and how that can make one feel as though they're trapped on one path, with one set outcome and no exit in sight. You begin in a hospital, being told you're dying, and throughout the majority of the game slip in and out of memories from the past that give insight into your downward spiral. However, all is not so bad, as if you make thoughtful choices, you may just find your way out of the destructive cycle and into the true, happy ending.

Two Endings.  

Content Warning: impending death, eating disorders, medical processes, drugs, alcohol, suicide, and general mental distress. 

Made for Tad Leckman's CMPM 80K (Intro to Game Design) class at UCSC, Spring Quarter 2020.
