About this game
Frame of Mind - A game of thoughts is a brief and cozy narrative game that lets you explore a character through thoughts and momentos you find in stages of their life. Its an introspective game, meant to share some experiences a peer-group of neurodivergent queers, including the developer, had growing up.
Experience through the eyes of a character as they return to their childhood home, after moving out. What mementos will they find? What thoughts will they go through? Can they be happy? Maybe not. You decide which thoughts to keep or discard. Help them find a better Frame of Mind.
While this game does its best to be accessible and kind, it also portrays burdens a normative society puts on kids, that are different growing up. You probably should not play this if you are looking for escapism. This game can be harsh sometimes, but it is driven by empathy and the desire to share authentic insights. Extensive content notes can be found in game and the manual. (see link list at the bottom right)
