i just played the earlier game, and i really liked it. the way you describe that kind of depression/anxiety where leaving the apartment seems overwhelming - it rings very true for me. i can't count the number of times when I've had to use every drop of will power to simply go out and buy food for myself; but i'm always so relieved when I do. just having a quick chat with the grocery store clerk can help improve my mood and boost my energy. anyway, thanks for letting me know about the earlier story!
