A downloadable game for Windows

Spoonie Game is a text-based simulator telling the story of Alex, a young person suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome (undiagnosed one at that).

And the thing is... you know Alex much better than you think you do. 

Sometimes Alex wakes up at 2 a.m. feeling like they could change the world only to get up 7 hours later thinking that they really should have got more sleep that night. Now classes will feel be a real challenge... and they still need to cook up something for dinner. Going to bed with empty stomach has never done anyone any good.

Sometimes Alex is too tired to wash the dishes. Sometimes Alex looks at homework and thinks that hey, one time won't kill anyone. Maybe tonight they can chill.

Alex is not really talented or genius or anything along these lines. They aren't someone with tragic backstory either. Just a young person trying to make their way in this world, so huge and kinda complicated – even if everyone around seems to act like they know it inside out.

The only thing that makes Alex different is that they are tired. All the time.

But, hey, it's not so unusual these days, is it?..

If I can not see it, is it even there?

Deal with chronic fatigue syndrome, the hidden disease which nobody really knows how to diagnose. It can start suddenly, unwarranted and unwelcome, and haunt a person for years.

Getting diagnosed is one thing, getting cured is another... but what are you going to do with everyone around you? The "hidden disease" is called so for a reason. 

If I can not see it, is it even there?

Make your way through

Chronic fatigue syndrome can be exhausting in every way possible but it's not a reason to give up on yourself. Study, make friends, do your hobby and learn little (and big) tricks to make your life a little easier.

You may not win this fight, but you still can make your way through it.

Live, Love, Laugh

You see, one way or another, life is a pretty amazing journey. Sometimes it's about small details and simple things, sometimes it's about finding someone who understands you and cares for you, sometimes it's just finally getting something to go your way. 

The destination is important but who says you can't enjoy the journey?

Even when sometimes it's hard to do.

Especially when it's hard to do.
