About Depression The Game

Is an interactive game simulating major depression.
You are joining a young man on one of his really bad days trying to handle his thoughts and survive that day... Will he?
  • On average the game takes around 15 minutes to complete,
    but if you wish to find all the secrets it is 25 to 40 minutes
  • This game is not for everyone
  • A short but unique experience
Have been suffering from depression for 6 years now.
Developing games helps me to handle it and gives me motivation in life to keep going.
Unfortunately, the topic of depression is still a taboo topic, and the affected people are having a harder time getting real help and opening up. I try to change that! I try to break the taboo with my games and take a new step in the right direction and encourage others to think about it.
If you are suffering like I am please share this game with your family and friends and reach out for help.

This game is based on my personal experiences. Depression is a very complex disease, therefore, there can be many differences.

I am very open to feedback.

Date of completion: October 13, 2025 I have depression too, almost the same as this guy we play as, but I'm nowhere near as sad or suicidal; I'm just dull at this point in my life. Remember people, there will always be people better off than you, but suicide is never the answer, so please don't do it.

ich hasse mein Leben. Ich hab weg von meinen Eltern gefahren, aber ich hatte zurueck gekommen. Because I couldnt stand the feelings of guilt even though they are the worst people I know. I planned to starve myself to death. Coming back, nothing changed for the better. It only got worse. Every day means nothing. I dont fit in with anyone. I hate my body. Im losing hope of things. Nothing is fun anymore. My old hobbies dont excite me anymore. I have no friends. I see no future for myself. I dont want a family. Dieses Spiel ist nachvollziehbar. For now, ill just keep wasting away my days. But Im sure that next time, I wont chicken out. yeah good game. "game". Es ist nicht fuer mich genau ein Spiel. Es ist realitaet.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
