Migraine management

"Migraine Management" is an interactive "choose your own adventure" game about making decisions in everyday life with chronic migraine.

Players navigate situations that are commonplace for many sufferers: taking medication or waiting it out? Canceling an appointment or going ahead with it? Avoiding triggers or participating anyway?

The game is based on the structure of classic decision-making books, but shifts the focus to uncertainty, deliberation, and exhaustion. There are no definitively right decisions - only different consequences within a limited range of options.

The starting point was a self-bound artist's book, developed in 2025 as part of an exhibition. The digital version translates this concept into an interactive format and makes visible how much invisible planning and adaptation work chronic illnesses require in everyday life.

"Migraine Management" sees the game not primarily as entertainment, but as a way to make complex experiences comprehensible and to open up new approaches to health communication.
