PolyPharm

A silly little game about a serious big subject.

Polypharmacy is the term for when a person is taking multiple different medications at the same time for their medical condition(s). This is often because one medication on its own has not delivered respite from symptoms. This game is about the challenges faced by clinicians and patients when trying to control mental illnesses.

None of the medications named in this game are real, but the problems of balancing symptoms and side effects are.

This game is a snippet from a bigger game series that I'm making, you can check out my substack to hear about how that's coming along.

NB: if you're on a Mac and it says it won't open the game, try downloading the itch.io app! or here is a YouTube tutorial. It's a pain, I know!
