Bad Mood Rising is an experimental (for us) game about how different the world feels when you are angry. A persons mood, what they are feeling inside, can greatly affect how that person perceives the world. When someone becomes angry things that would otherwise seem perfectly harmless can be perceived as hostile, and they can lash out at things and people around them. In Bad Mood Rising the player must try to make their way through a strange minimalist environment while avoiding dangerous obstacles that run the risk of causing the Protagonist to become very angry. If the Protagonist is hurt their rage becomes unbearable and the creatures in the environment turn hostile. The player must now defend themselves against the onslaught of incoming hostiles while the Protagonist calms down. Only while calm can the Protagonist progress through the game.
