A New Morning
A downloadable game for Windows
A New Morning is a short, educational game about autism
Made by autistic people - for everyone!
In the game, you play as Bee, an autistic child getting ready for school. Try to get ready without using up too much energy (spoons). Both autism community veterans and those who don't know much about autism can learn something from this game! The information within comes from community knowledge, lived experience, and statistics from recent studies.
The game takes no skill to play, the goal is merely to approach things from an autistic perspective and learn. You never know what might make you lose spoons - but that's okay! "Mistakes" are encouraged, and dialogue trees may be taken multiple times.
10-15 minute playtime ~ 25 interactable objects
(Educators are welcome to use A New Morning in classroom settings.)

Hi, I saw this game on both Kia Packard and FlareBlitzed YouTube channels. So I thought I would give it ago and also share it with others.
i had no idea this game had playthroughs on youtube, but i just watched them and they're really sweet! thank you for letting me know about them, i hope you enjoy the game :)
I assumed they would let you know. 🤔Great game! I will share it with many. Thanks for creating it. 😍 I will check out some of your other games.
Hi! I really enjoyed the game and I shared it with my students. They are doing a paragraph on autism and what people should be aware of. I was wondering if there could be any changes in the future about the changing terminology from autistic people to people with autism so they wouldn't feel characterized by it. Just a thought. Thank you and the students thought it was very informative!
Hi mate, not op, but autistic people prefer using autistic, since saying people with autism kinda implies that we're carrying around our autism like a bag, which is not true at all.
Nice job on this! I enjoyed it. It's a neat idea for an educational game, and it's very pretty.
💯
I really enjoyed this game! The art was beautiful and the experiences and facts were well blended into the gameplay. Great job! :)
you spelled equipped wrong
haha yeah i made this very quickly so i'm sure there are a few spelling errors in there ^^' i'll be sure to have a spell checker for my next game
Oh my goodness I just came back to play some game on itch and I realized that I didn't read your reply yet. I found this game through my sister's blog and I thought it was an accurate portrayal of autism. Thank you!
