Invasive Games

THIS ZINE IS CURSED. YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T READ IT.

In May of 2019 I embarked on a project of attempting to codify some of my invasive thought patterns into narrative microgames (which were initially written and posted as tweets). It was intended as a kind of confessional, or perhaps an exorcism. But spending so much time dissecting obsessive thought patterns didn't have a positive effect on my mood, so I had to let the project go after eight games.

Now that I'm in a more positive mental space, I decided it might be worth finally releasing the zine. I didn't update the text at all, but I did write the planned final game: A meditation exercise I used to play nightly as a way of calming the anxious thoughts in my brain.

CW for suicidal ideation and obsessive thought patterns.
