Brain Please Don't

Brain Please Don’t is a small game exploring a snapshot of modern teenage life, with an innovative deckbuilding and card-game mechanic studying the inner turmoils, dysfunctionalities and means of improving the situation of one’s psyche. Can you leave young Cameron better off?

Brain Please Don’t lets you try Cameron’s week with various different versions of the teenager, and each choice made along the way changes Cameron’s inner universe, and the deck that represents it.

In each encounter, play the cards that represent Cameron’s inner workings, thoughts and impulses. Like in any teenager’s life, avoiding self-doubt, anxiety and inadequacy will be a constant challenge. Those challenges can only be meaningfully overcome if the psyche changes to manage them, if you build the deck into a better version of itself through the choices made.
