*Note*

The theme of "diving deeper into depression" was to be illustrated more through dialogue but in the interest of time and having a "playable" demo I was not able to include this dialog. Instead, here's the missing intro that would've helped propel more the theme.

*Cutscene*

[Depression]
"You weak pathetic waste of space! You are nothing but a mistake and you should just end it, right here and now!"

[Scene]
The player is kneeling with their head down casted while rain falls on them.

[Player]
Maybe I should...No one seems to care...

[A disembodied voice]
My dear child. You are not alone and I love you.
Do not let these lies get your dishearten.
Standup, and use my words against depression to have victory over it.

[Depression]
You see! You are too weak to even pull the trigger! Here, let me do it for you. Ha ha ha!

[Scene]
Rain stops
The sun begins to shine
The player punches the ground, stands up, and points at depression while saying:

"No! You are a lie! I am loved and you have no power over me!"

[Depression]
Ha ha ha! Pathetic fool! Your words are but empty. Now, prepare to die!

[Scene]
Depression moves into the background and the player runs after it.
