A girl with social anxiety engages in exposure therapy by talking herself into going shopping instead of carrying on with ordering groceries home or ordering takeout. The world as she sees it is scary and always watching her every move, so she hurries home, forgetting many things she planned to get in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At home, after interacting with the vanity, she talks to her mirror self who is almost like a whole other person and does preparation like brushing and\/or tying up her hair. After getting ready you read the list and be on the way. At the end of a shopping session (level), she does self-reflection on her performance. The difference in the selves represents the gap between her ideal self and real self, and how her loneliness and isolation lead her to being her own only \u201cfriend\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Characterisation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Inner self is annoyed at outer self for failing and being so down all the time, so she is supportive, helpful and rational about the situations that outer self brings up, but she is also fed up with her \u201cvictim mentality\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Outer self has low self-esteem and it\u2019s obvious with how she talks about her own performance, but talking with inner self makes her feel better. She gets defensive or quiet when she’s \u201ccalled out\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She is also chronically online<\/strong> so more random online terms should be added into her dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n World<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A fictional world, still on earth, that isn\u2019t necessarily in any country we know of, but because we are in the UK, the game world would have resemblance to English towns, and their Tesco, Aldis and Sainsburys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The houses should not have a brick pattern on them and should just be flat in colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The supermarket however, even though it would be structured like a Tesco almost, should have tight isles with enough space for two people to walk side by side to increase the chances of the player bumping into the NPCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Room design and house layout<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Her room is her ultimate safe and quiet space, and it reflects her interests and love for plants. It should also be kind of messy with fast-food bags and trash all over the room from trying to survive without leaving the house. She has no desk, only her vanity, but she can move the mirror if needed. She tends to use her laptop on her bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
