Conversations With My Anxiety

Conversations With My Anxiety is a short narrative game about self doubt & first date jitters.

Well, as someone with a lot of anxiety but no dating experience, I think I'm partially qualified to write about the game. Ah, who am I kidding.

As the quote suggests, Conversations With My Anxiety is a visual novel, with a rather adorable art style, about a first date. Throughout the date, our protagonist has literal conversations with their anxiety, who is less than optimistic that the current situation is fixable.

I find myself short on words to say anything about it in particular, though. The actual first date is hilariously awkward, to the point I felt like cringing while reading it, and I certainly could see my own anxiety going full blast if I were in the protagonist's place. The actual back-and-forth between protagonist and anxiety feels fairly similar to my own experiences.

I enjoyed it. Conversations With My Anxiety is a good game.
