BUT YOU LOOK FINE

You wake up exhausted, in pain, and someone tells you: "But you look fine." BUT YOU LOOK FINE is a swipe-to-decide card game about living with chronic and invisible illness — conditions like fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, lupus, MS and endometriosis that others often cannot see. Every card is a moment: a doctor who doubts you, a friend who forgets, a body that betrays plans. Swipe left or right and live with what follows. This is an awareness game made with empathy, not pity. It is satirical about the absurd situations chronic patients face — and gentle toward the people living them. Nothing here mocks the illness; it questions the world that keeps saying "you look fine." EVERY CHOICE BALANCES FOUR THINGS: • Energy — the limited fuel of your day • Credibility — whether people believe your pain • Relationships — the ties you protect or strain • Health — the long game your body plays Spend too much energy and you crash. Push too hard to be believed and you lose yourself. There are no perfect choices — only the ones real patients weigh every day. This story is fictional and not based on any real person or event. It was shaped with care, drawing on clinical and patient-advocacy perspectives to portray these experiences with respect and without stigma. Whether you live with invisible illness or love someone who does, this game invites you to feel a single day from the inside — the delayed diagnosis, the dismissal, the quiet strength of showing up anyway. The game is free to play. If it moved you, you can leave the developer an optional tip to say thanks. It never changes the game or unlocks anything — the whole story is yours from the start. Swipe. Survive. And maybe, next time, believe someone who looks fine.
