IntroductionA pixel-art social anxiety life simulator. Inspired by the trending concept of "social outcasts," the game is designed based on research on individuals with social anxiety. The protagonist is a socially anxious shut-in who loses energy from any social interaction but continues to navigate daily life.

By experiencing the daily struggles of someone with social anxiety, players gain a deeper understanding of this psychological condition and how this group perceives the world. In the game, players must manage the protagonist’s daily activities, work to earn money, and balance energy levels and hunger to stay functional.
