The game compresses and visualizes the stages of burnout, reflecting the emotional toll through both mechanics and visuals.Created to raise awareness, especially among students and young adults, Weightless Chains explores how small decisions and external pressures compound over time. The game features two endings, reinforcing the impact of navigating (or ignoring) signs of burnout.
