This game is a prototype created over a 15 week period by students in the class “Therapy Games for Children” in the School of Game Design @ The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. It is intended as either direct therapy or as a tool for therapist to use. It is being released to gather feedback from therapists and the public, and as a prototype there are missing features and bugs but the spirit of the game should be there. We need your feedback to make it better!
