It's been 2 days and I can't stop thinking about this game.No game, movie,or book has ever done this to me..

We call this Post-LiS depression, my friend. This can take a long time to heal. For me it's been nearly a year, if not a full one. Give it patience, and stick around the forums. We're all survivors here.

Let's us know when been 2 months+ :P
Well, it's done that to most of us, i do not regret it and i enjoy this state

I literally feel the same way, dear lord. I really wish I could erase my mind just to play it again without knowing what will happen. Such a beautiful game, I cannot wait for season 2! I hope it comes out good!

You should check out some of the fan fictions. I know that helped me a bit. "All That Remains" is a really good and lengthy story for the Pricefield crowd. I personally think it gives both characters the proper closure we never really got in the Post Arcadia Bay ending.

this is called post-lis depression as OverthinkingPigeon also mentioned it, which takes weeks, months, years to heal, IF it does. Mine didn't heal.

I feel like Post-LiS depression should be a medically treated illness by now.

Same problem . I finished this game it 2 weeks ago and now I can not stop thinking about her. Nice to know I'm not the only one. (If there is an error then I'm sorry, I used Google translator)

...I suppose there must be one more warning in LiS splash opening screen along with the usual photoseizing seizures,for PLISD.It's hella more likely to happen than the usual side effects they actually warn us about!

There is the warning about it in the main menu that says something like: this game can affect you, so you might need a psychological help and talk :) I thought it was a joke.

This game really left me a mark, and I admired that. Although it only took me 1 week to get over it, try not to think that much, and that it's only a game in which you learned stuff about. real simple

It's over a week now that I finished my first playthrough where I sacrificed Chloe. The first 2 days it was really hard to think about something else. For me it didn't feel like a depression at all. It was more like mourning. I felt the same way when my grandparents had died.
Now after said week I did recover and back to normal emotional state.
Still I come back to the forums everyday. It's awesome to see how much this game affects one's life.
This is hella strange but cool. It was a hard and sad time after the playthrough. But I wouldn't want to change that for anything at all.

I remember there is a URL too which scrolls past, it goes to a list of crisis helplines in various countries. I think Dontnod took their responsibilities seriously with respect to psychological issues raised in the game - kudos to them for doing that.

After playing the game I'm glad I reached out, the LiS fan community is awesome and everyone gets it.. they get how people feel after playing the game.. because we've all been there. In fact we are still there. I never expected the residents of Arcadia Bay to get into my thoughts in the way they did, I never expected Max & Chloe to have such an impact on me. But they did - more than any film, tv series, or book I can think of.
