Swiss-Canadian author Derek Schraner presents Hikikomori , an immersive "lucky lockdown life simulator" inspired by the concept of social isolation. It offers a unique approach to balancing daily activities. Players complete a series of simple minigames representing different aspects of day-to-day life. What makes the gameplay challenging are the ever-evolving rules. In this interactive experience, decisions made each day reveal how those rules change over time. Players will need six-sided dice and something to write with, as they record their progress and track various activities. At its core, Hikikomori is a meditation on balance. It explores the tension between conflicting obligations and the pursuit of fulfilment in routine. It is the culmination of the author’s experience living this way for five years, offering personal reflection, and inviting you to share in the challenges and insights of the journey.
