Hey everyone!

I really passionate about games but I struggle a lot to finish the storyline for a lot of them. There are some games I would love to finish like Eastward or Sea of Stars, but I feel unable to reasume them. I feel like if the game is not a dopamine trap(League or Civ VI) I can't continue playing it.

Does anyone here has face this issue and have found a way to work on it?

My ADHD is the kind where I hyper focus on things I like, and I like video games so the problem isn't that I don't finish games; it's that I finish too many of them too quickly and forget the real world around me in doing so. And also that I then have nothing to do once I've finished all my games. :(

Games I don't finish are games that I also just don't like; so I never feel bad about it.
