Pain Pain Go Away! Is a Cute-Looking Typing Game With Heavy Trauma Themes

The indie typing adventure game Pain Pain Go Away! released on May 20. Players act as a counselor at a back-alley mental health clinic, typing to expose and heal a girl's trauma. The game's soft visuals contrast with its heavy content, including themes of murder, suicide, and self-denial, with a warning about shocking depictions.

Pain Pain Go Away!, the first title from the adventure game brand Lorebard, launched on May 20. The game presents itself with cute, pale-colored character designs and a pop visual style, but a pre-title screen warning alerts players to shocking expressions and depictions that may cause mental burden. The scenario deals with parent-child relationship traumas, codependency, and hidden secrets, and at points requires the player to type negative words like murder, suicide, or self-denial. The game offers three difficulty levels, with higher settings increasing typing pressure alongside the narrative intensity. Multiple endings and scenario branches add adventure game depth beyond the typing challenge.
