Mental Jam

Bobarista is a narrative-driven game with engaging mini-games that explore mental health experiences from authentic and diverse perspectives. Through interactive storytelling, players immerse themselves in character-driven journeys, fostering empathy, awareness and learning healthy coping strategies. Blending heartfelt narratives with playful interaction in a cozy setting, as an accessible mobile game.

Bobarista promotes acceptance, reduces stigma, and helps players feel understood and not alone. We have pitched Bobarista and our social enterprise, Mental Jam, at startup events, receiving funding and support from Study Melbourne, State Library of Victoria StartSpace, Breakthrough Victoria, RMIT Activator, and City of Melbourne to further our mission.
