Social Distancing

Many succumbed to COVID-19 during the pandemic. Will another fall to it again, years later?

Social Distancing is a game about commuting where trauma turns what should be a normal and mundane activity into chaos. Stay away from people to keep yourself from stressing out and exhausted, and gather enough money to go to therapy before COVID takes you.

HOW TO PLAY

You can play minigames that contribute to your stats or potential money gain while commuting. To access the minigame, press the button at the bottom right corner.

Work minigame: the one with the laptop logo, every time you finish it you'll get a performance bonus that'll increase the money you get when arriving at work

Sleep minigame: the one with the "Zzz" icon. You will need to time an input that will go slower as you succeed, and once it's slow enough you'll be sleeping. You'll reduce your exhaustion every time you sleep

Play minigame: the one with the phone logo. You play by clicking or holding-click on the phone. You'll reduce your stress every time you play
