This is a really well written game. Very sad and difficult to grapple with. I think you're onto something here. Keep working at it and you might have a story that might change many lives for the better, preferably without the loss of lives.
This game is good, and i'm depressed.(i made an account because of this.)
i am from the philippines and it seems the creator too,(i guess)
I have a depression since i was 6 years old, i am so depressed and tired of my life.
Keep talking to myself saying "Why do i exist? do i need to live? i'm nothing, i'm useless, i'm helpless, i'm a mistaken child, i don't deserve a family. I just want to die while smiling, my heart hurts so bad every night i cry ti'll my eyes hurt. But this is fine, i want to be tortured." Sometimes i laugh insanely and hurt myself badly, i'm so tired so i promised myself when 3 strike, i kill myself. There's 2 strikes and my end is coming near, i keep giving up because of bully. They judge me for who i am, but they only became my friend because i'm funny. I have a one best friend, who only truly understands me, i am addicted to online games because people who's on online games understands me too like my best friend. I have a one classmate who likes to ruin everything to my life, and i always smile even it hurts. This is true, "The nicest person gets hurt a lot the most." When i was 8 i point a knife into my neck, but my family came so it didn't happen. If i didn't kill myself and i turned 18, i'll start killing people. I'm just wasting my life, promise aren't meant to be broken, so i did the 3 strike. I always sing when i'm alone because they hate when i sing, but sing well. But they do not like me so they don't like anything to me, my parents only cares about my grades. So i don't tell anything about my exams or anything, because when they see it, they're dissapointed and probably ground me. My family keep saying to me "Your nothing but a naive child!" "Your so stupid!" "You don't know nothing in the world!" "your so lazy!" my sister agrees too..."youre so annoying" "i won't ever love you" "buy your own!" "faster! i don't have much time!" "ahaha your ugly ____." i have many more problems in this world, can't fight my depression. "I'm not perfect, they want me to be perfect." Sadness is always on me
Please don't kill yourself. You never know, something good might be waiting for you in the future. Have you seen a doctor/therapist? I think getting professional help would be good for you.
But I recommend going to a licensed therapist and talking about this with your parents. If you are unable to talk about this with your parents please go to your local counselor (if you have a school counselor you could try that) or contacting a crisis center. You may refer to this link if ever you feel suicidal again: https://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis_Centres/
You need to take steps to get better. It's ultimately your choice. Please take care of yourself.
I don't want anyone in real life to know this... i'm scared... if my parents knew about this i don't think they'll get worried.. they'll..... ..... ......
Thx for the link,i needed help but im to scared to talk to real people. I know people care about me, but what if i wasnt here, what would it change. They would cry for awile, then they would cremate me, then store me in a storage room and forget about me. Just another jar of ashes. No one will know us in a couple decades. Im just another one of the suicidal people in the world that we could do without. We all use resources like food, water, money, but why do we try. We all die someday, what is the point of anything. Its like love, you find someone, they break up with you and your sad for awile, but in the end it doesn't matter. The news would read "man found with wrist slit" but would it matter? Im just another person that will be forgotten. Im not important, im not useful, im not... anything. Just a waste of grave yard room...
This game is probably a real "just @ me next time" to a lot of us, myself included; and the flow of it is hauntingly accurate. Truthfully I had myself a good cry while going through the different story paths. It was pretty refreshing to become so immersed. Glad to see someone speaking on this topic on the gaming scene and I very much thank you for that. :) Keep up the great work I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing what else you put out here.
This Is The Best Thing Ive Played This Game Resembles Me Actually Thank You Author For Giving Me Inspiration And Stuff This Stuff Is Deep As Hell Oh Btw Filipino Din Ako Hahahahahhahah Hello Po
This is such a deep message and you did amazingly with how you presented it just a quick tip maybe in the description or something a suicide hotline just in case because this is a way too spread awareness
This game is so powerful, it left me in tears. As a person who has suffered with suicide, and who knows others who have lost the fight, it is very accurate. Thank you so much for bringing awareness to suicide and depression and mental health.
its a game worth the time it shows that its hard to live with things where you just want to do the same but its helping a bit seeing what would be lost after that, i even well thought about doing it but i cant bring myself to it what is good cause i know what i would throw away who would be sad if i go and overall what a mess it would be for anyone to go through. this game shows it a bit thank you for this game
This game...is amazing it made me think about life how if I died how would my friends and family feel. It helps people who are thinking about taking their life. Keep up the great work. (This the first game to make me cry. ;-;)
This game immediately spoke to me, not only because of the situation, but also because of the Filipino culture. goodbye was so real and accurate, and I truly believe this will help people realize they are not alone. Thank you.
really, really amazing. well ,its depressing, but still, really good job with the art and the song! the "inconsistent art" helped to make the game's mood, so dont worry about it (i like this art style haha) well, again, good job!
this story is amazing...I just speaks to me...I can relate to this kind of..It just makes me think of all the amazing things i have in my life....And im thankful for that... :)
A short game but, it drives the message home hard. I feel that everyone is struggling some more than, others hop;e this can help some people know they aren't alone in that fight.
Hi there, I first want to say sorry. I'm sorry that you felt that alone in the world and that helpless, but I'm glad that in the end you overcame it and decided to share your story through this beautiful game.
The art used throughout the game is great and very well drawn. The song used throughout the game, while a slight bit repetitive, is quite fitting for the subject matter.
I'm so used to writing very critical reviews here, I try to break everything down and be as detailed as I can...but in this case I find it very difficult. This is such a personal and highly emotional story, each person is going to relate to it in a different way, and if they haven't gone through something similar I'm confident that you've conveyed the feelings and thought processes of someone going through such an ordeal extremely well.
So thank you for being brave enough to share your story with the world, it's not something a lot of people would be willing to do.
I hope you don't mind but I made a "let's play" of your game over on my channel.
Thank you so much for playing the game and for your nice comments. I'm glad you got something out of it. I really hope that this game would help other people to know that they're not alone and that there's hope for them.
I'm glad I could have her talk to her mother and stop it. Otherwise I couldn't smile back. Life is hard, I know, especially when you don't feel like it's worth it.
However, I gave it 4 stars for not changing the song when the girl is honest about what she was about to do. The art was awesome but surely rushed near the end (final message).
Hello, I (even though fairly young) maybe take the theme of suicide and depression a little to seriuosly. But, I respect those willing to make games about such topics as it is very difficult to convey feelings through game and especially such themes such as suicide and depression. I want to say that this game did something that very few are able to do ( in such a short period of time). I honestly feel that this game is very well done and only wish the best for you in the future!
This game is the full package. Not enough words can express how deep this message is and how you can prevent suicide. people are always there to listen. Great Game
It is very uncommon for a developer, at least in my experience, to create such a real game. This text based adventure-style follows a very real story. There is not to much I can say about the game itself, but the message I believe is wonderfully transmitted. It makes me overjoyed to see there is the desire to bring awareness towards something of such a large caliber. Depression is a daunting issue many adults, adolescents, and children can deal with at any point in their life. I am shocked there are not more games like this which address the ugly truth it exhibits. The "gaming world" is not so very different in the aspect of how it ignores the negative themes, and goes with what feels nice. However this game puts the player in the first person perspective of the character with depression, forcing them to feel the characters emotions. At the very least, this game is based out of truth if not entirely. Really a wonderful gamer's message. Thank you so much for something different which brings awareness to the subject!
Thank you so much for appreciating this game even though I haven't put any images or music on it yet.
I'm very grateful for your comment!
This game is very personal to me as it is based on my own experiences. I'm glad that someone thinks it helps to get the message across about depression.
Your creation has soulful passion. I believe you’ve done the best thing a person can do with such darkness, by creating something greater than the depths of terror expressed and experienced. You’ve made something for others, I totally respect that, especially considering they are from your own. This is a great text based game, even greater for the truth behind it. Please continue to develop more for the community. These games are rare, the indie scene needs more! I hope further developments are even better.

Sadness is always on me
Knifes always in my body
Words In my body
People hate me
i just want to die.
Please don't kill yourself. You never know, something good might be waiting for you in the future. Have you seen a doctor/therapist? I think getting professional help would be good for you.
I didn't get any Doctor/therapist, i'm only 11.. but i think like a mature person.

You need someone to talk to about this. Preferably a professional.

s/u/i/c/i/d/e is really high here in the philippines, you didnt get that wrong :((
