Sword Of Meaning

BY MAGIC GAMES

Platforms & Status: PC, Mac, In-Browser. Published on itch.io.

This game was made to teach and celebrate CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), starring a real-life Cognitive Behavioral Psychologist.

Travel deep inside your mind and slay the demons that disturb your inner peace. You won’t do it alone. Your companion Marisa will help you build the Sword required to go and face what is inside.

The gameplay is very action-heavy, followed by very calm moments where Marisa asks you questions about your feelings. This allows the player to breathe and follow the story before going back into the action. We have to warn people that it gets difficult, but the Sword mechanics allow for different ways to defeat your demons. You might not get it on the first try, but that’s exactly how it often works in therapy.
