Worthwhile- Steam61from 3.5K reviews
powerful narrative and very good and realistic dialogue choices. i dont know how this has mixed reviews man. give it a shot
I found this this story to be a very on point representation of how depression creeps and the weight and hopelessness it brings with it. Depression looks different for everyone and this isn't a depression tutorial, but I certainly saw myself in many of the scenes.
It's been 12 years since the devs released this, hope y'all found a path.
interesting game, makes you ponder some stuff
to preface this, I like text adventures. this one is well made.
fairly linear but well-written. great sound design.
made me cry
it's good.
