Will I get depressed?
- fellellor 9y agoBeing sad and feeling such things isn't a bad thing. There's got to be a balance to everything.
- amagumori 9y agoi agree. not only that, there are so many beautiful feelings to be found within the realm of "sadness". and don't let that emotional pain be a barrier to you experiencing meaningful things that'll help you grow.
- ErrantX 9y agoNo, but you will find it sad. And I think what's more compelling is you will question the choices you make; is this really what you would do? I recommend playing it. It can be intense but incredibly powerful; simple choices like "who gets to eat today" really bring it home. Easily the best game of the last few years.
- Mithaldu 9y agoProbably not. Narcissu will get you depressed. War of Mine is still too mechanical.
- benologist 9y agoOnly when you discover how short it is.
- Fradow 9y agoIf you play it like a strategy game with not much feeling, you will not get depressed. If you get read the text, feel the emotions and really get inside the story, you will probably feel depressed. I know I did feel depressed a bit after playing it. That's actually one of the reasons I stopped after 2 playthroughs. That's still a good game, and I recommend playing it.
