Mobile game #SelfCare is all about combatting stress: instead of going to battle, players stay in a virtual bed for the day. The mobile game boosts mental health by letting players perform “calming tasks,” like reading, watering a plant, or organizing laundry. One of the creators explains that, “This game is an escape from the rotation of email, social media and chat that you get into on your phone.” #SelfCare also departs from contemporary games in its non-addictive nature. Instead of getting more difficult, “it gets more and more pleasant until you naturally lose interest.” (The Guardian)
