  With the rapid development of technology and its place in our lives, so too
has the idea of needing to grow up faster, do more, be more and more as we are
exposed to so many of our betters billboarding their successes and achievements
that very often we can experience burnout, depression, feeling of inadequacy
and worse. All because we cannot keep up with their tempos in life, and in this
chaos, we often lose the very important fact and truth, our life should be
lived at the tempo that fits our actual wants, our capabilities and
opportunities. In recent years, since the mid 2010s, video games have entered
the mainstream even more than before as a media platform that provides a more
interactive experience than others like it. Where the players actions have
consequences, outcomes both good and bad, and the experience of the player is
highly linked to their capabilities. Based on the type of video game, be it
single player or multiplayer, often the solution to the problem the player is
facing will vary. With the increase popularity of both buying and creating
games, more and more personal stories, talented teams and individuals, unique
takes and ideas are being tried and often for the games that do succeed, there
is financial gain but more impactful is communities built around the message
and/or its execution. These communities usually reside on social media, such as
Reddit, X, Tumblr, or on their own community pages made by the developers to
directly interact with their players. But this is true often even for games
that do not gain much financial success, they gain a certain cult following,
especially if the topics of the game are either obscure or whose workings
revolve around mental health issues, trauma survival, loss, or just in general
very human and emotional topics.
