This hit me really hard. Tried to go with choosing what I know I’d do in the same situations; didn’t work out so well. Helps just to see that I’m not the first person to have felt like that, I guess. If you’ve ever wanted to understand a depressed person’s mindset, this is about as close as it gets.

Hit so close to home. It mirrors very similarly the experience I went through over a period of nearly 2 years after graduating from university before I finally got help. The stuff with “Alex” in particular especially the part where it describes seeing her “slipping through your fingers”. Man oh man.

I am so glad that things like this exist. It is nice knowing that I am not alone.

Currently, you have to play the free version to hear the music. But the devs are aware and on top of it.

I admit on my playthrough I picked all the “best” options, exercising much clearer judgment than I in fact did when I was in that headspace. I don’t know if I’ll have the nerve to go back and play more true to form — I was getting fairly fist-clenchy even on “easy mode.”

Wow. That… really hit home. I’m in a situation pretty similar to that of the protagonist, and I think that I may be showing this game to some of those close to me, to see if it can explain things to them better than I can.

I didn’t think this would see the light of day. Really glad it did.
