I worked on the character art for this game because I thought the concept for it was very telling. I personally do not have depression, so this game gave me an insight as to what it is like to have it.
I think this game is helpful to people like me who have so many loved ones who suffer from mental illness, and don't know really how to handle it. I also think depressed people can get a sense of not being alone, since a game like this exists. The story is great and I think with more polish, it'd be an amazing visual novel!
