Depression Simulator is a point-and-click puzzle game, where players step into the shoes of someone living with depression, wherein even the most mundane task becomes a challenge.
It was developed as part of my Masters by Practice for Video Game Enterprise and Production at Birmingham City University, UK.
The game was developed through collaborative stories collected via HitRecord. (Link: https://www.hitrecord.org/projects/3223403/highlights)
Depression Simulator is also a semi-finalist in Stylist x Diet Coke Creators Collective.
I also blog quite a bit about the game development process and the thoughts behind this project. (Link: https://purplelilgirl.wordpress.com/tag/depressionsimulator/)
