I have never played a game with such a realistic portrayal of depression. I am very sorry, Drifty, for what experiences in your life drove you to write this game, but I hope it helps you in some way. I think mixed media like this go a long way in showing many people what it is like either to experience it yourself, or see a loved one experience it. Amazing job. This game really touched me, more than any other. It is hard to take, but thank you.
Mental illness is just like physical illness. The brain is a physical object, even if it is too complex for medicine to understand it yet. Someday, we will get over differentiating between mental and "physical" illness, and just call it illness.
Nobody expects someone with heart disease to just get over it, or for one's family and friends to do more to help the one with heart disease get better.
