The theme was to mix two incompatible genres, so I did Clicker/Survival horror. It's not like a typical survival horror, however. It may not be running from monsters in an unknown area, but depression is basically a waking nightmare for me. And it takes just as much effort to survive.
I wanted to convey how stressful and terrifying it is to constantly be battling my own head just perform basic human functions. Depression is a hard and scary thing to live with, so I hope I get my message across with this game.
At the start I found it very difficult to manage but after a while it became easier. If that was done intentionally in order demonstrate the effects of depression then you're a genius ;). Gameplay is a bit repetitive, graphics are pretty good, but you really killed it on the mood aspect. Good job man.
Very nice game. Thank you for giving people a glampse of how a depression can crawl up and control your every move, making it nearly impossible to function. But rest assured, it is something that can be beaten, speaking from experience.
This game is phenomenal. As someone who struggles with depression myself, this really hits home. You managed to sum up the feeling very well, and I applaud you for that. The challenge initially is a bit steep, but I feel that it fits well here. Great entry and Great job!
@JavaSaurus Yeah, I think it's really hard to explain what goes on in my head, how it's constantly a battle. But with a video game I can kinda convey how that feels. Thank you :) @vilix64 I tried my best to make it too real :joy: Thank you! @Tutti Ankka I'm glad I reached my goal of the game, to convey how awful depression is, thank you! @Lecalat I'm really glad you liked it :) @Jack Hipson Everything in the mechanics and pacing of the game was intentional and calculated. Thank you :) @Poorwill@RAFFE Thank you for your nice comments :)
