About

Real stories about depression and anxiety transformed into animations & games.

The Project

WITTLE presents real experiences from people suffering anxiety and depression. Their stories are portrayed in short animations and casual, web-based games that can be played on any device. No downloading needed, and they’re all free at wittle.ca

Our Mission

WITTLE raises awareness of how depression affects those who suffer from it. Depression is serious and complex, so to make these experiences relatable to anyone, WITTLE presents them as games that put the viewer in the comedians’ heads, and in animations told first-hand. The games and videos can be viewed anywhere, anytime on any device streaming from wittle.ca

Status

Oct 10th, 2019 Launched the first story by Brian, titled DRIFT which can be experienced as a short animated video and casual browser game.
