Game Concept：

Anorexia nervosa (AN) was rarely documented before the 1960s, but by 2013, the number of deaths from anorexia had reached 600 worldwide. The mortality rate of AN is as high as 5% to 15%, but people's awareness of it is far less than its increasingly serious trend.
AN is not just a psychological problem, it is a complex and serious disease. Prejudice and misunderstanding of anorexia patients will only increase their pain and make them feel more isolated and helpless.

The game aims to create resonance and awareness of issues related to anorexia, and to help people understand those who struggle with the disease. Hopefully, after playing the game, people will treat and help them with more kindness and empathy.
