T-thank you for putting a trigger warning in the title... You know, I've been pretty d-depressed m-myself and have been cutting myself a-alot...

cutting is bad, too romanticized , and solves nothing and offers not even temporary reprieve to any psychological pain. it should stop being depicted so much *COUGH COUGH* RANDAL *COUGH COUGH*

As a conclusion i think the problem is no depressed person can go through the process of coding and assembling a whole ass game, compared to something like paintings that don't have any level of abstraction behind them, you can paint anything and all the observer has to do is look at it, while a game is a whole friggin deep experience
janny you can close the thread now

If I were OP I'd delete this thread out of embarassment

How can a game recreate how it feels to be depressed while being good? Like genuinly what is the game going to be about? Le big very personal hard to relate to sad event happens (le ingame dad dies or what ever like you dont know him and hes a video game character) like okay now what? simulate doom scrolling in bed? develop alcoholism? like i cant see an accurate well made game based on depression can truely get it.

Depression would be the least intresting mental illness to play as. Writing it would be a differant story so maybe if there were a good vn out there with a compelling character who would be a good repressentation.... ahhh, just wonder what that could y'know....

there are good books and movies about depression so i think it's possible to make a good game about it

How Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was butchered as a sequel is pretty depressing if you count meta.

hatred IS corny as fuck

I like to believe the over the top edginess of the game is intentionally trying to be funny.
