Is this game okay for some with severe depression?

[Gouda]

I love LiSA and Undertale. Lisa left me feeling pretty bummed out for almost a week, but it's still one of the best games I've ever played. That being said, that was a different time in my life. This has been a difficult period in my life and I've seen some people say that this game made them feel something that no other game has. And I've seen some people say that it's a "Life ruining game experience."

Art is meant to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comforted. I am just being cautious. But for so many people to compare this game to Earthbound, LISA, and Undertale, its hard for me not to be really interested.

I would say that if you can think back, in whatever emotional state you are in now, and imagine yourself playing LISA for the first time like this, while still being okay, you will probably be fine with this game.

For me, personally, I found this game's climax to be even slightly more emotionally intense than the climax of LISA (which is saying *a lot*, because the ending of LISA was absolutely brutal). There is one segment I won't spoil that almost gave me a panic attack (for me, very high tachycardia and shortness of breath).

So your mileage may vary. I also suffer from depression and anxiety, so I'm probably more susceptible to these kinds of things.

With all that being said, I think this might be the greatest video game experience I've ever had in my life, and I would have suffered any amount of emotional discomfort to see it to its conclusion.

Have you played DDLC? Omori's only a bit less graphic than that. And if you pick up what the game puts down on story branch choices, the story doesn't end bleakly like Lisa does. I have depression but I'm just compelled to dark stories for some reason.

it IS very dark in any ending, I was actually suprised they went that far, game is very painful it still hurts :(( Regardless if you get the "good" ending like most do it ends on a more positive note so its not all depressing.
