In some way, I do relate to that feeling, and you made the game feel so real. I like it a lot

Loved the bit about ingredient households, a lack of ready-to-eat food can be really demotivating when you don't have much energy for anything to begin with. Really helped set the mood

I appreciate the care you take in exploring depression. I really liked the part with the alternating ticks and tocks, it was simply effective in capturing the struggle of getting out of bed. Awesome job!!

Extremely relatable, really captured that feeling of apathy for me when getting out of bed is a monumental task.  11/10 would pet the cat again.

Gotta say this was really relatable. I liked the way that you set the tone and meaningfully explored how hard it is to do anything while you're depressed. Great work!
