The Tale of the ADHD Dinosaur

About

The Tale of the ADHD Dinosaur is a hyperactive 3-minute platformer where your raptor protagonist can’t sit still. You dart in circles, flinch at loud noises, and generally make life hard for yourself while the world ignores your chaos. Controls feel like herding cats with a joystick, every input spirals into a new direction. There are no tutorials, no hand-holding, just you and your inability to focus. The game’s charm lies in its absurdity and deadpan execution. Developer chickentuna leans into the frustration of ADHD without pulling punches, turning fidgety gameplay into a darkly funny metaphor. Released in 2021, it’s a niche experiment that lives or dies on its premise, and so far, the web-browser crowd has leaned toward “die, but in a delightful way.” Not for the patience-averse, but if you’ve ever tried explaining ADHD to a thermostat, this is your three-minute confessional.
