deep story ! nice
Wow, just wow! Arguably the deepest and the darkest game I've played in a while.
Are you too depressed? Because putting all that aesthetics in game without experiencing seems very unlikely. I just don't understand why you ended the game with the suicide. Which makes me think that this is not your story as you are still alive. But wait,what if you have completed the game halfway and then another developer took over the project after your self-slaughter. But how did he manage to complete the project? Is he too suffering from depression? Is he too alive? The game has so many unanswered questions. Answer me if you are alive!
I've played your game and I just can't stop tears falling down my cheeks. I had depression quite a few years ago, although I have recovered after a few therapy sessions but i know that feeling. When everything seems like a struggle, when you don't want to leave the house because you know everyone is judging you. The feeling where you feel so damn sick for no reason. I know that feeling,and kudos to you to put that feeling in the game.
Although i was expecting a happy ending, but it's all perspectives. That might be a happy ending if you look at a depressive person's point of view but things can take a turn around, ending one's life is never an answer. That was the only thing I wanted to change in your game. But putting all the painting on the walls,depicting a short story, showing what depression feels like,you really did a great job
Happy for you to recovered from that phase, yes i know the ending is bit dark,but i wanted to depict that in some cases people don't even know that what is good for them is actually good or not. Moreover I wanted to show that he just wanted to sleep,to get some rest which i surely missed in game. The thing is he don't feel anything,not sadness,not happiness,just an empty feeling,and he wanted to get rid of that feeling.
what the fuck is wrong with you !
