So, How Are We Doing Today?

My entry for Brackey's Game Jam 2023.2. Theme was "Diving Deeper".

How the game fits the theme:  Psychotherapy is... certainly one way of diving deep. You have three clients today, good luck!

Controls:

Press [space] or [enter] to advance conversation. Minigames use mouse controls and keys (M in one game, R, G, B in the other).

For clarification, and spoilers for one of the minigames, scroll to the bottom.

I'm sure I forgot to take out some debug commands, so uh... try not to touch any other keys. Or do, and be confused.

Thank you for playing!

Edit: I'm struggling to get the viewport dimensions correct on Itch. If the viewport is cutting off parts of the game, please let me know!

Minigame controls and spoilers:

The second minigame is called a Stroop test. Look at the words and press the color the word is written in, so [R]ed, [G]reen or [B]lue. If the word has an outline, you press the color that the word describes.

E.g. The word "RED" is written in BLUE font, with no outline. Press [B] for blue.

The word "GREEN" is written in RED font, with a black outline. Press [G] for green.

Unfortunately the textures came out blurry, and a bit hard to make out. It's an easy fix, but I didn't have time to correct it before submission deadline.
