Yep, that's pretty much what it ends up being after you get it set up. It's kind of a role playing game. You choose a superhero identity, pick your supporting cast, then identify your power-ups (things that are good for you) and your enemies (things that are bad for you). You earn points and "levels" by doing good things and avoiding bad things.

It's much more motivating to lie still and breathe while thinking "I'm earning 20,000 points for this!" than "I'm so mad I can't go to work!"

It was actually developed by Jane McGonigal after she suffered a concussion. It's in beta testing and/or clinical trials now: https://www.superbetter.com/page/superbetter_story
