Notice

About

Notice is a brief, interactive RPG where you navigate the experience of a panic attack and gradual calming through mindful awareness. The game unfolds in a small, cluttered space where every object, like a soda can or a friend’s guitar, holds personal significance. You click to explore these items, each triggering a mix of visuals, sounds, and text that reflect your internal state. The gameplay mirrors the process of grounding yourself, shifting focus from overwhelming thoughts to tangible details in your environment. What makes Notice stand out is its quiet, introspective approach to a challenging topic. The game’s minimalist art and carefully layered music create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and universal. While short, it’s designed to leave a lasting impression, with many players noting how the symbolic objects resonated beyond the screen. Developed by Jake Berry, it released in late 2023 and has since been praised for handling mental health themes with care and creativity, avoiding clichés in favor of a personal, player-driven narrative.
