Hi! I am so sorry for my late reply! I just learned about itchio doing auto pending for comments, and saw this needed manual approval which I had no idea was a feature?!
Anyways thank you so much for your honest thoughts! I'm glad Benji carried the game for you! Totally understandable that the mc wasn't likable. They are flawed and at times, struggle with realizing they aren't a good friend, person, etc. What you're feeling is also how they feel, which is interesting! They ALSO feel like they're rude and feel like their problems aren't worthy of feeling so depressed.
In terms of the reason for their depression, there's hints that they haven't felt supported by family, and it's conditioned them to hide their emotions, which I think exacerbated the problem. I hope to slowly explore this throughout the game. If you have any questions about this, happy to answer!
