Brain Please Don’t is a small game exploring a snapshot of modern teenage life, with an innovative deckbuilding and card-game mechanic studying the inner turmoils, dysfunctionalities and means of improving the situation of one’s psyche. Can you leave young Cameron better off?
## About This Game
Brain Please Don’t lets you try Cameron’s week with various different versions
of the teenager, and each choice made along the way changes Jude’s inner
universe, and the deck that represents it.
In each encounter, play the cards that represent Cameron’s inner workings,
thoughts and impulses. Like in any teenager’s life, avoiding self-doubt,
anxiety and inadequacy will be a constant challenge. Those challenges can only
be meaningfully overcome if the psyche changes to manage them, if you build
the deck into a better version of itself through the choices made.
Having better mental states give you access to more answers, and good answers
can sometimes create better general states of mind. The game is all about
trying to construct positive psychological spirals, while also looking at what
happens when that can’t be the case.
Not all endings are always happy, not all darkness is always pitch black, and
only your take of each playthrough can explore the various paths and
destinations of this short game.
