Hooked

Hooked is a short, hand-painted game about phone distraction, everyday routines, and the attention we give away without noticing.

Spend a day in your room, watering plants in the morning, cooking lunch at noon, and writing in the evening. It sounds simple, until your phone keeps interrupting.

Notifications compete for your attention, checking your phone makes the day slip by faster, and your surroundings change as your character's mood worsens. Can you stay focused long enough to finish what you started?

Created for a mental health game jam, Hooked invites you to pause and think about how much space a small screen takes up in your life.

Features

1. Three minigames built around everyday activities.
2. Phone notifications that interrupt your routine.
3. Hand-painted artwork that changes with your character's mood.
4. An ending that reflects on the time you spent on your phone.
