    It's sad how a lot of the troll '0' reviews are made by people who feel at pains to make personal attacks or slanders on the developer. What a coincidence, it's a woman. If it was a man they wouldn't even address such things.

What a coincidence, it's a woman. If it was a man they wouldn't even address such things.

    This game is a bit heavy and in a way it's not really a game as such. it's good as an educational tool but not much in the way of fun and can get extremely boring at times. It's doesn't take that long to go through and is obviously very cheap so give it a go if you fancy something a bit different but this isn't going to appeal to most gamers. Ignore the **** trolls that give it 0 out of 10. Do you honestly think they would have played the game given their hatred of female developers.    … Expand

    I absolutely love this game. It is amazing, and Zoe Quinn is the best game developer ever. Words cannot describe this masterpiece. Feminists unite! Let us wash this earth of that scum we call "man".

    As someone who has grown up with depression, I think this game was genuine and creative. No, it's not a typical game, because it was obviously made to allow the user to begin to understand what depression may feel like for many people.

    Honestly I just barely heard about this game. A friend had it on his laptop so I tried it. We were talking about depression and the game came up. He said "I don't want to spoil anything, I want you to live through the amazing experience yourself." Only an hour later did I catch the smirk on his face. Jerk.

Only an hour later did I catch the smirk on his face. Jerk. Friends don't let friends play Depression Quest. This was bad no matter how you classify the game. Give it it's own genre for all I care it's still a piece of garbage from the boring music to the horrid writing to the fact it is nothing like having depression.… Expand

    I rarely condemn game publishers, especially on their first game. But this tough treatment is needed for a publisher to improve. to be fair, i give it a 1 for playability.    … Expand

    The concept of this being a video game is utterly laughable. The authour is also an utterly repellent human being who harassed a man into suicide simply for more woke victimhood publicity.

    By trying to explain depression to people who don't have it, Depression Quest often alienates those who do.

    While it does an okay job presenting what it is really like to have depression, it sets the player down the exactly same depression path, no matter what is chosen.
