One New Message is an engaging visual novel with a distinctive style, relatable scenarios, and lo-fi beats.

In One New Message, players navigate the daily life of a student. As they do so they are challenged: to recognize when they are stressed-out; to apply various coping strategies to help them manage their stress; and to make better decisions once their stress levels have been reduced and they can respond more reasonably.

This game focuses on recognizing and fostering resilience by addressing coping strategies, self-awareness, and stress reduction. One New Message offers a free standards-aligned lesson plan.
