Our Mission

Important Disclosure

Our Case Files

To explore what happens when legendary video game characters step away from the boss fight and into the therapist’s office. We deep-dive into their imaginary mental health journeys—unpacking anger issues, awkward romances, and existential crises with equal parts heart and humor.

Our Case Files

Important Disclosure

Our Case Files

 This is where pixelated problems meet overstuffed therapy couches.  Our “Case Files” are satirical takes meant purely for entertainment. We are not affiliated with Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Capcom, Sega, FromSoftware, or any other game studios, franchises, or characters we feature.  Although we are big fans.

If you are experiencing mental health challenges, please speak to a qualified professional—Seriously, this is comedic parody gaming therapy. There isn't any material on this site that is going to help you in real life.  Really.
