Other games, like Coffee Talk and Neo Cab help us consider the people we serve at work. Trying to manage crunch time with Going Under, or not succumbing to Tom Nook’s invitation for ever bigger mortgages in Animal Crossing, there are lots of games that can help us find some balance. Whether it’s escaping for a lunchtime walk with A Short Hike. Some address the world of work directly, while others enable us to consider our choices about how we spend our working hours. But not only to get some distance, but to play something that shines a light on why we do what we do. The games in this list offer space to reflect and escape work for a while. Most recent is their Level Up campaign that challenges businesses within the video games industry to unite and commit to change. They have some excellent resources available for free and global helplines for a range of emotions and stresses people might be feeling, not to mention some great training resources for companies. “The worlds we create are a refuge for many,” they say about video games, to highlight the importance of also looking after those people who make these amazing spaces. The Safe In Our World charity addresses this world of work and video games to foster positive mental health wellbeing and deliver support for players, developers, publishers and retailers. Not, that is, unless you work in the video game industry. Video games and work don’t usually go together.
