400 Hours in Lonely Games Fixed My Brain(rot)

I spent over 400 hours alone in games to see if simulated solitude could cure my brainrot.

After years of fast-paced competitive games, constant stimulation... I needed something different. I needed a break.

So I went looking for peace in lonely games.

This is a video essay about gaming, solitude, overstimulation, brainrot, patience, perspective and why, some games take from us some games give something back.
