Idea
‘emo’ is a popular word used to express bad emotions in the Chinese internet community. The topic of this game is depending on relationships with others to fight against bad emotions and pressure in daily life.
Mechanics
Control 'I' to touch white words, which will create a white line between 'I' and those people. The white line can heal the bad emotion of 'I' and destroy those pressures (red words).
Control

Very touching design!
I cannot recommend more, considering this as a wonderful piece of work for using interactive context to render and to express emotions. The connections and process of losing them really controlled my mood.
A nice game and a meaningful try!
Thanks for your feedback
Amazing work!
I was puzzled for one second the first time when the word "parent" disappeared and then realized what that really means. T-T
I gave up when "Parents", "Friends" and "Love" all passed away and died. Very realistic. But then I was like "Couldn't be?" and played the second time and finally passed away bravely.
Very good game and highly recommended. Nice BGM as well.
Thanks for your feedback!
