Psychologists

[Have you ever heard of a game called Psychologists?]

[Every player in this game is depressed, unhinged, and oppressed. Their hearts are full of scars, and their minds teeter on the brink of collapse.]

[Only people with mental illnesses are selected. Every match is a frenzied clash in which players tear open one another's festering wounds. Winning might make you stronger, and perhaps one day you might even recover.]

"And what happens if you lose?" Bai Xin asked, looking at the virtual environment filled with futuristic technology. The glowing central computer sent a chill through her.

[You might wish you were dead. You could go mad or wait to die. Who knows?]

"Then why should I take part? I can get treatment on my own."

[The top three players in the C League can receive complete treatment. With the level of technology and medicine your people have today, you can't be fully cured. Besides, you crazies can never resist an exciting challenge, can you?]

"You'd better get one thing straight: mental illness and being crazy are not the same thing."

This game is a wager on the mind and soul. Every battle is an act of self-examination, a painful cure that cuts down to the bone. Struggling, and holding on to hope.

#This story is entirely fictional. If you have a mental illness, seek treatment and don't give up hope. The heroine is getting treatment too, mwah!#

#The game's basic framework was inspired by the anime Money: The Future. The story is almost completely different, so please don't nitpick.#

#Lighthearted yet depressing. Read with caution. Includes sci-fi, mystery, and horror elements.#

#There is a romance, but it's only there to serve the plot and isn't important.#
