comment
Due to the game's relatively small size, all spoilers are unmarked. You have been warned.Adventures with Anxiety is a 2019 short interactive story by Nicky Case based on their own personal experience with anxiety disorders. The story is about a person and their anxiety, which takes the form of a big red wolf.However, the player doesn't take the role of the human; they play as the anxiety, which just thinks of itself as a guard dog, trying to warn their master of possible dangers. It can be played for free here.

Darker and Edgier: Despite not being bloody, gory and cynical like some of Nicky Case's other games it manages to be this by portraying the human's descent towards alcoholism realistically and making it clear that it is unhealthy and dangerous.

comment
Character Development: The anxiety wolf goes through this, first seeing itself as a guard dog and ultimately deciding it's more of a battered shelter dog that sometimes screws up, but still genuinely cares about their human. The human, in turn, goes from treating the wolf as an enemy to accepting it and hoping to train it better.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: A subtly ironic and somewhat optimistic variant where the consequences of jumping off the building aren't quite as horrifying as the visions you can give your human with your special attack, but they are more realistic and detailed.

Versus Character Splash: Whenever the wolf and the human talk, it's presented this way, followed by you pointing out fears or the human drinking as "attacks" that drain their opponent's health. They eventually decide this way of seeing things is stupid and smash their own health bars before having a chat.

Obliviously Evil: Beebee never intended to harm their human, only wanting to be a good guard wolf capable of protecting them. But they're not perfect, they're a "battered shelter dog." Beebee's desire to protect them from all harm has blinded them to the harm they cause Hong through their overprotective tendencies.

comment
Rule of Symbolism: In the beginning we see the human doesn't wear a red hooded jacket at all, it's their anxiety animal and as the wolf has complete control of them, its wrapped tightly around them. During the course of the story as they rebel against their partner's wishes, the wolf's grip on them slips. At the party, the jacket's loosely tied around their waist.

comment
Be as Unhelpful as Possible: Most of the first chapter is spent causing stress over trivial things, like the contents of a sandwich or the possibility of getting trampled at a party. So when actual danger shows up, like alcohol and jumping off a building, it's tricky to convince the human that you're being serious.

Fighting a Shadow
 Adventures with Anxiety (Video Game) / int_b8fdf22a
comment
Fighting a Shadow: A human trying to fight back against their anxiety animal is futile; their animal partner will use every trick in the book to keep them safe and comply with their desires, if need be. Only alcohol consumption can temporarily paralyze the Bond Creatures, but at a terrible cost. It's a lose-lose situation, as the inebriated person will either override their basic survival instincts putting their life at risk, or turn to drink as a coping mechanism to keep their overbearing partner, and all other emotions, at bay. The solution is not to fight. Only when both accept they are part of each other can they hope to live in a semblance of harmony.

Fear Is Normal
 Adventures with Anxiety (Video Game) / int_c728ea66
comment
Fear Is Normal: The main moral of the game. You play as a person's anxiety, personified as a wolf named Beebee, who is responsible for their anxious thoughts. Beebee believes themself to be helping Hong, keeping them safe, but their attempts are less than helpful, even distressing. Despite the intense drawbacks and often irrationality of anxiety, it is shown that ignoring all your feelings can be just as bad for you. In the end, Hong makes peace with their anxiety, not giving in to their irrational fears, but not shutting out all their feelings.

Shout-Out
 Adventures with Anxiety (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Hong's name means "red" in Chinese, has a wolf as their anxiety animal and wears it as a red hoodie, essentially making them Little Red Riding Hood. If you warn your human that they're just using people on hookup apps, anxiety wolf sings a song to the tune of the Pokémon anime theme song. The human looks very similar to the character Frisk, and the message after the credits includes the phrase "Stay determined.". Horrified their human isn't mixing well at the party without their 'guidance', anxiety wolf pulls a pose straight out "The Scream". To stop their human consuming a drink concoction, wolf unleashes their special attack crying out "Hadouken!"

Deliberately Monochrome: The images are black and white, with the exception of red things that can transform into anxiety creatures, like the human's hoodie.

Sympathy for the Devil
 Adventures with Anxiety (Video Game) / int_d3a4af1e
comment
Sympathy for the Devil: The last we see of the red-headed person is them sleeping uneasily on their couch as their anxiety animal, the massive elephant (Gramm) they've let it grow to become, sadly watches over them.

You Are Not Alone
 Adventures with Anxiety (Video Game) / int_d44ea142
comment
You Are Not Alone: At the end of the good ending we see another person (named Al in the credits) who is carrying around their own anxiety animal named "Shire". Also, at the end of the credits there is the phrase itself, and a message telling us that there are many others who suffer from anxiety disorder, and within them many are able to find and share help with others. Bonus points for creator Nicky Case crediting their own anxiety wolf, and musician Monplaisir their anxiety pigeon.

comment
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: No one at the party bats an eyelid at the human arguing with themself. Everyone's aware they're arguing with their inner-animal. It's one of the reasons why many turn up to Hunter's parties.

The Big Bad Wolf
 Adventures with Anxiety (Video Game) / int_dc835463
comment
The Big Bad Wolf: From the human's perspective, the wolf is their biggest obstacle to happiness. In the credits, it's given the name "Beebee", as in "B.B. Wolf".

 Adventures with Anxiety (Video Game) / int_e0aed924
comment
No Antagonist: The human and wolf eventually decide that their "one of us must win" mentality is stupid, and break their health bars before having a frank discussion. Even the red-haired person, while the instigator of actual danger, is just a person with bad ways to cope with their own stress.

Earn Your Happy Ending
 Adventures with Anxiety (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: Subverted. It is not until the human and the wolf encounter an actually life-threatening situation that they truly learn how to function together. As anxiety wolf explains he loves their human partner, and will try to compromise where possible, but their desire to never be harmed may cause them someday to regress back into a panicky mess again. Both accept that's part of living from one day to the next.

Cope by Pretending
 Adventures with Anxiety (Video Game) / int_f7512035
comment
Cope by Pretending: The red-haired person (Hunter) throws parties every week as a means of taking breaks from the stress of life and silencing that inner anxiety animal. However, it immediately becomes apparent that this isn't healthy coping, as their parties go wild fast and are raw escapism.

Reverse Psychology: This backfires horribly for the anxiety wolf if they tell their human they never cared about their welfare (which the human wholeheartedly believes in that moment) in an attempt to get them to see reason.

The Dog Bites Back: While anxiety wolf succeeds in getting their companion to leave the first party it's a Pyrrhic Victory as their human throws them wrestling-style to the ground vowing to return to next weekend's party.

Brick Joke: If the player ends the first chapter by having the human curl up and cry, there will be a small marsh labeled "Lake Tears" when they return to that spot in the ending. Alternately, if the human destroys their phone, there will be a grave labeled "RIP phone".
