Robin

About This Game

WHAT IS ROBIN?

Robin is a free short slice of life vignette that was made to give some visibility to an invisible illness – Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or myalgic encephalopathy). Live out three days in the life of Robin, a CFS sufferer, and try to manage your time as best you can. What you decide to do in these days is up to you, but know that there is never such a thing as a perfect ending.

Built around the concept of spoon theory, Robin is a quick, relatable insight into the struggles of living with CFS/ME.

Reviews

“I hope playing games like this kind of opens up that door for people to be able to talk about these things.”

“Robin may be incredibly simple and not have a happy resolution, but it conveys a crucial point and raises awareness for those who are often forgotten.”
The Mighty

“Robin’s success in bridging knowledge gaps comes from how well it encodes CFS in a way that destroys a long-held belief about being invisibly disabled: it’s the fault of the disabled for not trying hard enough.”
