Evan and the Eagles
Evan and the Eagles is an introspective video game that follows the story of a young man who experiences anxiety about confronting a large and unfamiliar world. Diving into the world of anxiety that plagues the protagonist, the player must navigate through a hostile cityscape and collect information about how to overcome their anxiety from the wise eagles who reside there. Drawing heavily from Stoic philosophy and making use of allegorical storytelling, Evan and the Eagles aims to convey a cerebral struggle with ill-aimed anxiety and put forward a time-honored solution about how it might be addressed.
