EVERYTHING + Mental Health | Video Games & Media Psychology
Channel: Screen Therapy
Date: 16/11/2019

David O'Rielly's art-project-turned-video-game, Everything, is a great tool for exploring our minds and practicing the important skill of meaning-making. 

As we flop around and learn how to connect with others, listening and learning and thinking for ourselves, all the while transforming into creatures at every scale of existence we are given an important philosophical and spiritual exercise. 

We remember we are not alone - our stresses aren't as all-consuming and cataclysmic as they felt before we loaded the game. Watch and learn more about how this game can help us psychologically.
