Hello, thanks a lot for the review!

Out of curiosity, could you finish the game? If yes, did you understand it was about depression and self-harm?

I'm afraid we were a bit too subtle about the underlying message which is "be alert for people around you showing signs of mental health distress and offer them real help (not just 'snap-out-of-it' kind of advice".

Cheers!

You're quite right. I knew it was about depression from its description on itch.io. Try to highlight this message more in further development. Anyway, you did a great job focusing on a really big problem in our society.

As a fellow construct 3 user  as well, I cannot express how cool this game was for me. I can understand how some things were made, but some others just escape my comprehension. The helicap spinning faster when you jump, such a little and great detail. Good job, really proud of what you have accomplished.

This was amazing! Sadly I couldn't figure out what to do in the final sequence, but it was really great!
