Put It Away!

Put it Away! is a precision game where the player “waves” by moving up and down to avoid grabbing their phone and match an NPC’s “wavelength.” It shows players how connecting with others is worth overcoming phone addiction for. The more wavelengths the player can match, the more friends they will have at the end of the game!

Amica has started high school following the end of the pandemic. They're excited to be back, but they struggle with a crippling phone addiction that prevents them from making friends. After feeling lonely a week in, they begin suppressing their phone addiction in order to bond with their classmates.
