Depression is a common yet overlooked illness that affects over 264 million people worldwide. It is a terrible illness that takes the lives of many people everyday, did you know that it's estimated that one person dies to suicide every 40 seconds counting to over 800,000 individual people every year. Unfortunately even with these statistics, the topic of depression is still a taboo subject for many, because of that most affect by it find it extremely difficult to be understood.
As a result, people close themselves off and lose faith in finding real help and isolate themselves. We want to try and change this by developing a game that gives a little bit if insight into the disease of depression in hopes that other people who are struggling aswell know they're not alone.
We also hope that this game can bring some understanding to those who haven't fully grasped what their loved ones might be going through and why they might behave in certain ways.
We ask that for everyone and anyone who is suffering from depression to feel welcome in assisting us with even further understading to share your experiences with us.
The topic of depression is very complex and has many variants, so far we have only been able to share our own experiences but unfortunately this is not enough to reflect a whole disease.
Any sort of of input is very much welcome and we hope that everybody reading this know that they don't have to be alone.
