With Fringe Theory, developer LionRoar will be exploring PTSD through the game’s two playable protagonisis, both of whom suffer from the disorder.

Both men are stranded on an island. Players will not only need to help the men survive, they’ll need to monitor the characters’ mental health. Low morale and excessive stress can have dire consequences.

Fringe Theory will offer a single-player mode in which the player can switch between characters anytime. Co-op mode will also be available either online or locally via split-screen.

The game will include dynamic weather, wildlife and time-of-day. Players will receive little-to-no handholding.

LionRoar: There’s no easy way to explain what a mental condition like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is. But even though we cannot make the player experience PTSD, we’ll make him understand it – through gameplay.

Fringe Theory will be released on PC/Windows, Xbox and PS4. A pre-alpha, playable demo for Windows may be downloaded from this page.

A Kickstarter campaign with a base goal of $50,000 will run until April 29, 2016. If you like what you see, please consider backing the game. A Greenlght campaign is underway. Please give the game your vote!
