A single-player video game (2025) Approximately 15 minutes.
This interactive point-and-click energy simulator is based on the lived experience of artist Matt Allen. It's Not You, It's M.E. is a game you can't win, full of mini-games that often are impossible to complete. Matt has Long Covid and M.E. As there is no one size fits all representation of energy-limiting conditions, this game shows some of the day-to-day challenges by simulating one week in a fictional version of his life.
About M.E
About M.E
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a long-term, complex energy-limiting condition. It affects all parts of the body. The main symptom is extreme tiredness.
The ME Association estimates that at least 250,000 people in the UK have ME/CFS. In addition to this, a ‘significant but unknown number of people diagnosed with some form of Long Covid also meet diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS’ (ME Association, 2025).
