Good Moms Stay Awake

Wash dishes. Prepare milk. Sleep. Soothe Zach. Buy groceries. Eat. Do laundry. Change diapers. Relax. Answer calls. Feed Zach. Sleep. Repeat.

Play a single mom in a never-ending battle against daily tasks and tiredness. As you dispose of diapers, wash the laundry and protect the baby's sleep, keeping your eyes open turns from tedious to impossible. With every blink you descend further into a state of delirium that extends far beyond the common struggles of parenthood...

This game deals with serious topics such as depression, hallucination, and postpartum psychosis. Player discretion is advised.
