💞 Mood Matcher – A Game for Emotional Awareness & Inner Balance

About the Game

Mood Matcher is a gentle emotional awareness game designed to help players understand, track, and balance their feelings in a safe, interactive way.

When dealing with depression, anxiety, or mood swings, identifying emotions can be difficult. Mood Matcher helps players recognize what they feel, why they feel it, and how to respond with self-compassion.

Through color-based interactions, sound cues, and mindful reflection, players “match” their current emotion with corresponding visuals and affirmations. The goal is not to label emotions as good or bad, but to understand them as signals — guiding players toward self-awareness and healing.

Every session becomes a personal check-in, turning emotional confusion into clarity and acceptance.
