Critic or Coach?

Sorting game · 30 sec

Same voice, two different jobs

Why games on a mental wellness site?

Each game is a tiny, low-stakes rehearsal of a real skill: single-tasking focus (puzzle), choosing a grounded thought over a reactive one (snake), or noticing what supports you (mountain). None of them replaces therapy — they're a kinder default for the moments you'd otherwise spend scrolling.
