i always meant to play this game given its cultural history and i finally got around to it. the game is very simple, but i think it is both a poignant look at depression's effects on an individual. it is far from perfect, but i would venture to say the depiction of depression is at least effective as an introduction. it is a shame that it's legacy is tied with all the hate and your experience with the game is going to different based on if you have experienced/how you experienced depression.
