¡Hello there!

We made stuff :D

What's new

• Re-collection of the game assets
• Sound transitions, button and scene transition sounds.

The Start Of Your Therapy

Here is a sketch of what we expect the first DictioTherapy timeline to look like.

Soon, when you open the game you will see the usual main menu but when you start your game you will meet our cat therapist, who will introduce himself and ask for your name. You will be able to tell him about your character's memory problems and with that you will learn one of your first words to save in your dictionary.

Then, you will learn how to access the different levels of the game, which in this case, are the blurred images you have of your memories. You will begin to analyze and work on a memory guided by the cat therapist, when you enter that memory you will be able to see the mental health bar, this will start at a very low level, but don't worry, you are just beginning your therapy and that is normal.

You will begin to analyze the scene by moving through the physical space surrounding your specific memory, you may feel confused, but rest assured that you will find the answers to your questions as you become aware of the meaning of the words you will learn during the course of your therapy. Try to pay close attention to the dialogue you have with your therapist and you will see how the darkest passages of your memory can be illuminated. You will receive words of encouragement as you resolve your inner conflicts with the tools you have learned from your therapy, so keep moving forward, don't stop. And remember, you are not alone in this road.

About the Mental Health bar

While we're used to the goal in videogames being 100% completion, we want to convey that mental health is not like that. Which is why we want to make it so that getting 100% on the mental health bar isn't the "ultimate goal", the real goal is to fix your memories as best as you can and improve your mindset :D This would mean you can finish you DictioTherapy experience without your mental health being at 100%.

We Continue Building Our Own Assets

We have been working on the creation of new assets to implement in the videogame. That's right, because we have great artists in our team and that's why we want to accelerate the implementation of our own sounds, our own visual objects and scenes. Here are some of finished our assets.

The place where you will be seen by the therapist will be as follows.

One of the scenes of the game will be the following.

And finally some assets of an unmade bed, sheets and a made bed.

As for the sound effects, we will continue to work on them to provide you with an immersive gaming experience.

We hope we have provided you with an interesting update on the progress of DictioTherapy.

Best regards!
