Overview

About this game

Trauma or Joy

You play as a little boy on a playground, playing with toys, but not every toy is safe here. Some are dangerous, full of sharp objects, or nasty stuff. Pay attention and pick only the good ones. You need to watch carefully and listen to spot which toy gives joy, and which gives trauma. 

KEY FEATURES

  • Joy / Trauma management

  • Fun rides

  • Solve puzzles and quests to get some sweet rewards

  • Unique nostalgic atmosphere

Rides

The playground is full of rides - some dangerous, some really fun. You must investigate the rides before boarding. 

At the end of your day, you have to give your joy to your depressed mum. You start the new day drained, and you have to get some joy on the playground.

The plot

Mr. Best wants the best for you and your mum, so he is going to demolish your house, along with all the old houses around your yard. Why? To build new skyscrapers, some people will be evicted, sure, but you and your mum will have a new apartment. 

During 20 in-game days, you will be able to go along with Mr. Best or ruin his plans.
