Wellbeing Town

Description

Wellbeing Town is a charming social roleplaying game that invites players to explore the Five Ways of Wellbeing through a relaxing, character-driven experience. Set in a peaceful, Animal Crossing-style village, you'll interact with friendly locals, complete meaningful objectives, and gather natural resources while learning how small daily actions can boost mental health. Developed by a small team for the University of Bolton's Psychology department, the game structures its core message around five themed days—each representing a key principle of wellbeing. Once the main story concludes, players unlock a free-play mode to continue exploring at their own pace. Created as an educational prototype in just six weeks, Wellbeing Town showcases how games can promote mental wellness in engaging, accessible ways.
