You’re Just Imagining It

“You’re Just Imagining It” is an immersive simulation game that explores the complexities and frustrations of living with an undiagnosed chronic illness. Players step into the shoes of a character who constantly experiences unexplained pain and must navigate daily life while seeking answers. As you visit countless doctors and specialists, each with their own theories and treatments, the challenge is to manage your symptoms and maintain your day-to-day responsibilities.

The game poignantly illustrates the emotional and physical toll of having an invisible illness. Players will make choices about which doctors to see, how to manage their time and energy, and ways to advocate for themselves in a medical system that often feels indifferent. Every decision impacts your character’s well-being and the progression of the story.

The path to diagnosis is uncertain and winding, reflecting the real-life experiences of many who suffer from chronic conditions without clear answers. “You’re Just Imagining It” not only raises awareness about chronic illnesses but also builds empathy by placing players directly in the midst of the struggle for recognition and validation. How will you handle the uncertainty, and what will it take to find clarity? The journey is as revealing as it is challenging.
