SideQuest for Anxiety
Anxiety shrinks your world a degree at a time. Confidence — the kind that actually holds — is rebuilt the same way: one small completed rep, then another. SideQuest is a deliberately low-pressure rep counter.
Start at intensity 1
Cap your intensity at 1 for the first month. Cozy quests, free budget. Walk to a café you've never tried, take the long way home, ask someone for the time. The point isn't the quest — it's proving to your nervous system that random + new is survivable.
The dice decides, not you
Anxious brains spiral when asked to choose. By outsourcing the decision to the dice, you bypass the loop that turns "I could go out" into 90 minutes of imagining everything that could go wrong.
Buddy as ground
Doing exposure work alone is hard. SideQuest requires a buddy — one person, paired with a 6-character invite code. They're your check-in, your co-completer, and your XP partner.
Not therapy
SideQuest is a game, not a clinical tool. If anxiety is significantly affecting your life, please pair this with proper support. The two work well together.
Start small
Free forever. Cap your intensity wherever feels safe.
