I played this game through Steam... Oversimplified, insensitive and EXTREMELY manipulative...the story in this game is horrible. Not even the beautiful artwork/music can save it.

The themes of suicide and depression can't just be sprinkled into a story (like sprinkling seasoning on your food). You either go in-depth (in an empathetic manner) or leave them be; careless handling of these subjects can actually be damaging to those playing the game (whether you have a trigger warning at the start or not).

i thought the themes of depression and suicidal thoughts were handled really well actually.

did you play it only once?

Idk why you are being downvoted, you do have a point.

I actually liked the way this topic was included in the story. It's very realistic because the character you play isn't depressed or suicidal herself, only her roommate. In this situation you can't know exactly what goes on in someone else's mind/life. People you see everyday could be suffering but you have no idea, you live your life. Depression is silent and that's why it's deadly. I think this game handled this theme very well and it's a very difficult thing to do.

Only 2 minutes into the game and I was close to tears because it spoke to me in a way no other game or any other media did before. 

But more importantly, you didn't enjoy the game and that's fine, but it doesn't mean it 's a bad game. It just didn't work for you.
